A - Z Children’s Activities

THE MAGICAL CHILDREN’S BOOK SERIES THAT EXCITES AND STIMULATES LITTLE MINDS.

In a world of fluffy clouds, fairies and magical spells, Grumbalina looks to have the perfect fairytale life. But, she’s starting to learn that magic can’t solve everything.The brilliant six book series by children’s author Karina Fredericks follows Grumbalina as she starts her new school, makes friends and learns new spells. But it also shows that life isn’t always easy, sibling struggles and relationship problems can’t be solved by the swish of a wand, and we must consider kindness, fairness and inclusion.

Karina brings to life everyday struggles in a light-hearted, magical world, showing young children how to navigate through different times, thoughts and even issues like pollution(!). She brings together the fairies of Pufftown, to work together through their muddles, showing that there is always a solution and happiness on the other side - even magic isn’t the answer.

The perfect bedtime story, let Grumbalina lead the adventure and take you and your children on a mystical journey, with lessons of friendship, growing up and a little fantasy too.

The Grumbalina series includes six unique books, Grumbalina and the day everything thing changed, Grumbalina and the Cardboard Wand, Grumbalina and the Golden Wand, Grumbalina and the Flower Power Spell, Grumbalina and the Great storm, and Grumbalina and the Level Examinations - RRP £13.00. True fans can also get their hands on a range of great merchandise too, like the Grumbalina soft toy, backpacks, wands, play figure characters, and more.
