Shout Out: Magic Animal Friends Series


Welcome to a magical world where animals talk and play - just like you and me!

Best friends Jess and Lily love all animals. But when they follow a mysterious golden cat into Friendship Forest - a place where animals live in tiny cottages and sip dandelion tea at the Toadstool Cafe - their summer holidays suddenly become much more magical!

Molly Twinkletail Runs Away
On their second adventure, Lily and Jess are invited to the Friendship Forest fair! But Grizelda the witch wants to spoil everyone's fun and her servants, the Boggits, trick little Molly Twinkletail into running away from the party. It's up to the girls to find her - but where in Friendship Forest would a tiny mouse hide?

Ellie Featherbill All Alone
It's Ellie Featherbill's birthday, and she's having a party at her houseboat home on Willowtree River. But Grizelda has a wicked plan to poison the river, and orders the Boggits to steal the Featherbills' barge - with Ellie still on board! Can Lily and Jess save the little duckling and stop the Boggits?
