“You might remember me raving about the first two books in the Magnolia Moon trilogy, and I have just read a loved the third. The Courage of Magnolia Moon sees Magnolia now 10 years old and dealing with all kinds of friendship and family issues with a running theme of courage…
With so much whimsy and imagination she brightens the lives of everyone around her. The final moment in the book demonstrates huge bravery and is just so heart-warming. Edwina Wyatt really channels Magnolia’s age and developmental stage as though she still vividly remembers what it’s like to be ten. The illustrations really add to the magic.”– Liz Ledden, One More Page Podcast
