About the Author
Louise Courey Nadeau Passionate about empowering and inspiring children around the world, Louise Courey Nadeau, born and raised in Montreal, Canada, and mother of two girls and two boys created her first fairy tale Magelica's Voyage, with the second book in the series, The Rescue, launched June 2015. "Through life's trials and tribulations, I always believed I could. With the Magelica book series my goal is to take young girls and their parents and teachers on empowering adventures and to inspire and encourage them to believe that they are amazing just the way they are, and to discover the power of love, positivity, and believing in themselves. "Magelica's Voyage is inspired by my life, my family, and the special people and places I love", says Courey Nadeau. "All of the characters in the story, including Magelica are reflections of the person I am- the wacky part, the funny part, the philosopher, the teacher, the caretaker, the chosen mom, the giver, and of course the dreamer. What would Magelica do, I often ask, and I get the answer. When you fly with Magelica, the possibilities are endless and there is magic all around."

My Reviews
Magelica's Voyage
Magelica's Voyage by Louise Courey Nadeau is a beautifully written enchanting tale filled with alluring adventure.
Magelica is a young girl, who hatched from a brilliant sapphire egg. She was given the name Magelica because her birth was magic and she had an angelic face and lovely wings. Magelica also had a silver feather, which she learns contains magic. Whisked away in the night by a warblegrif, Magelica sets out on an fascinating adventure in search of the Isle of Dreams. She is told the island can be found on a turtle's back. The turtle needs Magelica's help to overcome his great sadness, but unable to see the magic contained within herself Magelica is unsure she can help.
Queen Raya's words of wisdom, "you are what you make of yourself," not only help Magelica realize that life's true magic is in her heart, but teach children that the same is true for them as well.
The story is magnificently illustrated, from the winsome depiction of Magelica to the creative Isle of Dreams, the authors gifted imagination is prevalent on every page.
I found Magelica's Voyage to be a charming story with a very special message for all. I highly recommend picking up a copy.
