Magical, sweet, lovely,original...
Madeline is very close to her grandpa. Everybody considers him a bit crazy, but, for her, he is just full of wonderful surprises. On her first birthday, he brings her a box of little potion bottles and asks her to choose one. She can choose any colour apart from (you guessed it!) pink. What happens next is the fulfilment of every child's wishes for magic in their lives. Just for one day Madeline breathes fire, turns into a mermaid, controls the skies and creates fun fair rides with the power of her mind, any magic ability you wished you had as a child, Madeline gets it as one by one she drinks her multicoloured potions. I'm not going to give away the secret of the pink potion, but I remember vividly that this was something I wished from the age of 10. The artwork is lovely and captivating. There is a sense of immense love and acceptance in this short and gentle book. Highly recommended. Thank to NetGalley and TaleBlade for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.
