Title: Rhianna and the Wild Magic

Subtitle: Rhianna Trilogy

Author: Dave Luckett

Narrator: Mikaela Martin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-30-08

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Rhianna is in trouble at school again. She just can't get her magic spells to work, and when they go wrong, they go very wrong indeed. But it's not only Rhianna who is having problems. Magic is failing everywhere, and the Land itself is at risk.

Editorial Reviews:

Dave Luckett's series The Rhianna Chronicles, for ages 9-12, is billed as "Harry Potter for girls". In the first book of the series (called The Girl, the Dragon, and the Wild Magic in the United States), the award-winning Australian children's writer introduces his heroine as she's poised on the verge of failing out of her "school for magic". But soon Rhianna discovers that her powers exceed those of her classmates and she must test them against a dragon.

Voice actress Mikaela Martin performs the entire fantasy series with equal parts action and emotion. She must have access to a narration spellbook, for her delivery is pitch-perfect.

Critic Reviews:

"Mikaela Martin does a fine job animating Rhianna and personifying the mighty dragon. Martin makes the listener care for Rhianna as she learns about her life-altering gift and her need to rein in her magic. The mean Mr. Spellright and his evil nephew, Rory, are keenly characterized. This is a quick listen for those who seek a fun visit to a world of magical spells and enchantments." (AudioFile)

Though Macadoo endures much adversity - leaving the only home hes ever known, being separated from his dam, and surviving an auction that for many horses is their final stop before the slaughterhouse - he finds the courage to "walk on" through even the most difficult circumstances. And he eventually finds a sense of home and good companions, first with Izzy, Poppa, and their mules, then at the Maury River Stables, where he learns to teach children therapeutic riding and vaulting.

Told from Macadoos point of view and featuring beloved characters from Chancey of the Maury River, this is a story that horse lovers will cherish.
