AUDREY’S MAGIC NINE: THE PENCIL AND THE FUZZY by Michelle
Wright (Book 1)
Audrey is a lonely
foster kid. Living with adults that barely feed her and abuse her, Audrey has
very little in her life. The only thing that gives her any solace is her
sketchbook.
With
wide-eye wonder and a vivid imagination, she creates stupendous worlds to
escape the horrors of her reality. Eventually, law enforcements put a stop to
it. But then somewhere else a childless woman named Tabitha longs for
motherhood, then she meets Audrey. Tabitha had a good heart, but she was much
too overzealous, which was intimidating for little Audrey. Why couldn’t they
just let her be? I’ve always been a firm believer to let kids be who they are.
And Audrey was just an artist—not a ballerina or violinist or a singer.
I liked how
relatable Audrey was. Her situation was all too common, embedding fear and loss
in the reader; however, it was the awesome illustrations—their brightness and
color—that brings hope.
Things
certainly take a surprising turn when a puppet comes to life asking Audrey to
help save a world and defeat an evil queen. The race is on to find the nine, a group of
magical friends. Audrey must use all her drawing skills for this one.
I just love
graphic novels for the story in art, and this book is especially spectacular for
its likable characters, fun elements, and powerful message. Audiences will be
endeared by Audrey’s quiet strength and her lively resiliency to not be beaten
down.
An
inspirational and adventurous story!
My rating: 4 stars
AUDREY’S MAGIC NINE: THE PENCIL AND THE DREAM by Michelle
Wright (Book 2)
The story
continued with the search for the nine magical puppets. It’s a Toy Story of
Adventure.
Audrey is
still as spunky as ever! She’s such a charismatic and clever kid that kicks
butt. Girl Power!
She
definitely learns the odds and ends of life, and that sometimes life isn’t
fair. Still, nothing can bring her down, especially when she foils injustices
with the help of her magical friends. Audrey lets audiences know that being
different is not bad.
A terrific
story of being who you are. Such lovely
illustrations! I can’t wait to see what happens to Audrey next.
My rating: 4 stars
