Chelsea Chatterbooks - Virtual Session

Take part in our Virtual Chatterbooks session!

We are reading Hilary McKay’s beautiful and spell-binding novel about magic, family, and old house and a mysterious visitor, The Time of Green Magic!

About the Book

When Abi’s widowed father meets Louis and Max’s mother, the three children find themselves thrown together to form a new family. Abi is not used to sharing her father with anyone, and Max and Louis find it hard to trust their new stepfather and sister. At first, the only thing they seem to agree on is that they all want to move into the mysterious old house covered in ivy; a place where Abi thinks nothing will be impossible, with rooms overflowing with green magic. Inside the ivy-covered walls, Abi finds herself able to travel inside books. Louis is visited by a mysterious nocturnal creature whose wildness is both exhilarating and terrifying. Now the three children will have to learn to trust one another before the green magic grows too big and wild for them to control.
