Waiting for the Magic - Book Review

Waiting for the MagicWaiting for the Magic by Patricia MacLachlan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am 38 years old and I LOVE this book because the conflict and the main setting is a scenario that is very real. The father left the family and the children struggled, emotionally. Smart mom adopted 4 dogs and a cat to help them through these tough emotional times. However, there's also the fantasy aspect where the pets can communicate to any humans who believe in magic. Who doesn't like talking animals? Maybe I'm just really a kid at heart. :)

This book uses strong negative words like hate and stupid but the author makes sure that this gets addressed and resolved.

Lessons that kids will learn after reading this book:
1. Forgiveness - not just forgiving the person who had done them wrong but also acknowledging their own mistakes and apologizing for them
2. Importance of family and looking out for each other
3. Emotional maturity
