The Magic Mound: A Fantasy for Children

The Magic Mound: A Fantasy for Children

eBook (SouthernCrossReview.org Jan. 14, 2013)
"The Magic Mound" is for children age 9 and up - all the way up, as many parents who have enjoyed the book in Spanish have informed me. An illustrated Spanish translation was published in a print version in 2000 by Longseller S.A., Buenos Aires. It was a favorite Argentine Waldorf primary school reader. Now the English original is available as an e-book. It's about two brothers from a Brazilian favela (slum) who stumble into a fantasy land where they are charged with rescuing a young girl...Well, it's all in the book, which beyond the adventure itself includes references to life, death and reincarnation. Both you and your children will surely enjoy it. A young reader from Costa Rica comments, in English, about the Spanish version:Dear Mr. Smith,I liked the book "La Lomita Mágica". It was very fun. I liked it a lot. My father read it to me. It was sort of scary, but I liked it. Have you written more books for children? I really, really liked that book. My brother and I play Maxa all the time. My brother likes the giant abyss. My favorite part of the book was when the owl came out and guided them. My name is Isaac and I'm 6 1/2 years old. I live in Costa Rica. That was my favorite book. Sincerely,Isaac Arauz
