October Kiwi Kids Books: Day Seven

Share a New Zealand book for children or teens: for ages 5-7 years. 
Quin Majik and the marvellous machine
Author: Fleur Beale. 
Illustrator: Philip Webb. 
Publication: Mallinson Rendel, 2008; ISBN 9781877423239. 

Sequels: 
  • Quin Majik and the hairy roof rescue. Mallinson Rendel, 2009; ISBN 9781877423284. 
  • Quin Majik and the Tidy Street catastrophe. Puffin, 2009; ISBN 9780143305538. 


I know my library system has these as 7+ (well, one is 9+), but I think newly confident readers between 5 and 7, and those being read to, are the perfect audience for these older gems. 

Fleur Beale is rightly touted for her books for older readers, including teens. So these books are often overlooked, or forgotten. 

Time for a republish!
