Description

Join a school where children can change into animals! A thrilling new magical fantasy series from the author of the bestselling Kitty books.

Animagicals are children born with the power to change into an animal. They can change into any animal and they need help controlling their ability until they find their true form - the animal they are destined to be. Will they fly like an eagle, leap like a leopard or skulk like a fox? Come and join them at Wild Haven, a magical school set up to protect and train animagicals in a magical forest hidden from the ordinary world.

Noah loves changing into a bear! He's sure it's the animal he's destined to be. So why do his friends at Wild Haven School say he should choose something else?

A mysterious magic brings a terrible storm to the land of Animagia, putting every animal in danger. Noah is determined to help. Can he stay true to himself and prove how great he can be as a bear?
