About the Magic Vision Series Each book is specially crafted to grow the lead character, a young girl, in her bravery, daring and ability to overcome adversity. The series prides itself on providing a pathway for younger readers (7-12yo) to develop to young adult books by providing strong, interesting and often funny characters to extend their imagination and vocabulary. The Magic Vision Series provides young readers with exciting and challenging books to read as they seek to improve their reading skills, or read more interesting bed time stories, with each chapter leaving them hanging to read more. The books were originally written not for publishing but to provide the authors daughter, who had initially struggled with reading, more interesting books to read to increase her interest in reading. And it worked. Her interest in reading has grown leaps and bounds and she has gone from a below average reader in class to a strong reader with above average comprehension. It was only when others started to read the story was it suggested to her father, the now author, to publish the books. The magical creature characters are based, as much as possible, upon regional folklore, mostly Scottish, with elements of Scots-Gaelic as the basis for the ancient language. I hope this initial trilogy provides your children as much joy in reading as it did mine. - P.J. MacMillan
