Today I am pleased to be able to
participate in the blog tour for Witchy Travel Tales 1 by Sibel Beadle. My thanks go to Rachel from Rachel’s RandomResources for our spot on this tour and the books to read and review.
About the Book
The series “Witchy Travel
Tales” tells the story of a witch called Miranda who has seven beautiful
daughters. Miranda and her daughters cross seven seas in search of a better
home. One stormy night they land on the Seven Sisters Cliffs, south of
England.
This book is the first in
a series of books that tells the travel tales of the witch and her seven
daughters, who explore the beautiful land they have arrived in and visit
ancient sites throughout England and the World in search of magic.
Amelia’s thoughts
I found this book to be very good
and am looking forward to reading more of these books.
Miranda wanted the seven sisters
to live happily on the island and feel like they didn’t want to leave, so they
were all close together.
I found the pictures were very
bright and detailed and helped the story to progress.
Bev’s thoughts
The first thing I noticed was how
bright the pictures are and found both Amelia and I discussing these as we were
reading the story to see what we could see and how we thought the story might
progress.
Miranda is the mum to the seven
sisters and wants to ensure that they each have a house of their own so they
are happy. We follow the story of her
finding the perfect place and of meeting a bunny called Richard. What does Richard have to do with this story
and how will he fit in?
I am looking forward to being
able to curl up with Amelia and read the next book in the series Sleepless in Stonehenge
and look forward to seeing the next magical tale of Miranda.
This is a great book and one that
would suit children aged from 4 onwards, one they can read with their parents
or when they are old enough be able to read on their own. Amelia and I read this together and then she
went to read it again on her own.

According to the back of the book, Sibel Beadle started writing this
series when she was getting divorced and the children were aware with their
father and were begging her for a bedtime story. I’ll leave you to read the rest of the bit at
the back of the book as to how this progressed, but this was a lovely story in
itself.
