A completely magical and captivating read that is a promised fun-filled adventure!

Magical creatures, portal adventures, and a flying bus…Bound has no shortage of imagination. I was utterly enthralled from the very first page. It’s like Nevermoor meets The Magic School Bus. (I seriously love Bonnie the bus!) Samantha-Ellen really know how to capture the reader, taking them on a fantastic, whirlwind adventure that bursts with magic across every page. This book is like a rainbow in every sense; its characters, shenanigans, creatures, the lot, and so beautifully rich in folklore. What’s even better is that this will be a series! (begins happy dance)

What I really liked, which was refreshing, was that the characters already know about this world, they’re not discovering it for the first time. It’s like we as the reader are being accepted to come on an adventure with these lovable characters. The characters are just as colourful, strong, and quirky as the book. Ferd gives me Doctor Who vibes and I am all here for them! The dialogue is phenomenal; witty and expressive, written very naturally.

Classed as an ‘epic portal series’, it certainly lives up to it. This was an instant hit! Excuse me while I go take up residence at Seven Wherewithal Way.

Seven Wherewithal Way is a tale of magic and adventure, following Celeste and her little sister, Esme, as they journey through the realms.

Using a conversational and witty tone, Seven Wherewithal is everything a middle-grade story should be. It is clever, funny, and joyful, featuring all the staples of the portal fantasy genre.

As Celeste and Esme discover new magical creatures, artefacts, and locations alongside their friends, they both bicker and protect each other. Celeste learns that she can be the hero of her own story and proves herself when she saves her friends and family.

Seven Wherewithal Way is perfect for fans of Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend.
