Description

Nominated for the Skroutz Book Awards 2025.

Do you believe in magical powers? Lottie and her friends do! And when they meet the Star Animals, a brand new magical world unfolds before them.

The residents of Westcombe are determined not to let Mr. Hannigan destroy an important habitat by building luxury houses on top of the cliff. But instead of working together, they start to suspect one another.

Lottie believes that Mr. Hannigan is using magical powers that make the residents ignore the house construction. Will the Star Friends manage to reveal the truth before it’s too late?

The series is characterized by:

  • Fantasy: The stories are full of magic, adventure, and, very often, mythical creatures.
  • Love for Animals: A central and recurring theme in the series is the heroes' relationship with animals, whether they are magical (unicorns, star animals) or ordinary (horses, dogs).

  • Paper quality
  • I would choose a book by the same author
  • I would recommend it for purchase
  • Was it interesting enough?
  • In general, it is a very good series that children like. My daughter is 7 years old and she loves reading them. It has magic, adventure, mystery, and keeps her interest undiminished. However, it has quite a few mistakes (spelling, grammatical, and syntactical) that an older child would notice.

  • I'm sorry but the book is not for children. It is very bad through a fairy tale to talk to children about magic, dark magic, evil, etc... there are so many fairy tales that can talk about so many beautiful things. I did not like the concept at all, no matter how well written it is... I would not read a similar book to my child again.

  • 10 years old and read 1 & 2 in a day and a half!! She kept talking to us about the adventures she read. My daughter is very excited! My only objection is that this book (like children's series etc.) talks about magic, something I don't consider right or Christian. I will read it too and depending on that, either we will get the next ones or we will find another book by the same author.

  • Nice adventure!!!
    Looking at the cover, you expect the inside to be illustrated the same way... the whole book is in black and white...

  • From 6+ years old, girl, rich text, minimal illustration, and multiple pages for a parent or a 9-year-old child to read. It refers to magic but conveys messages of overcoming fears, courage, etc. It keeps the interest intact
