Magrit

Magrit lives in an abandoned cemetery. She is as forgotten as the tiny graveyard that surrounds her. One night a passing stork drops a strange bundle into the graveyard. Master Puppet, her friend and advisor, tells her it is an awful, ugly, terrible thing and that she should get rid of it. But Magrit has other ideas.

 

Magrit is an evocative book for younger readers by award-winning Australian author Lee Battersby. This wonderfully strange yet poignant story of accepting the truth about oneself is perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, David Almond and fantasy and horror novels.
