A beautiful middle grade fantasy that will touch your heart.  Kristina is twelve and doesn't feel very confident.  She has very few friends, and feels picked on by the kids at school and her babysitter.  So when the day school lets out for Christmas break, when her teacher gives her a present, she is touched.  However, to her dismay, she can't get the box open and tosses it under her bed in disgust.Later in the night, a buzzing noise wakes up Kristina and she realizes it comes from the box under her bed.  It finally opens and she sees that is is a bell, but when she touches it, she is instantly transported to a new world, the world of Bernovem.  This is where the fun starts! Kristina learns she is the chosen one, she must take the bell (the magic warble) to where it is supposed to go to save the land.  Bernovem is filled with many magical creatures and Simcox does an impeccable job of bringing them to life.Of course, nothing is ever easy.  An evil queen will do whatever it takes to prevent Kristina from completing her mission.  But even with a few new friends, does Kristina have what it takes to save Bernovem?Clean, wholesome writing, magical creatures and beautiful artwork, you won't go wrong with The Magic Warble.  Slated toward middle grade, even adults will enjoy this fantasy. What a wonderful world that I would love to go back and read more of!
