January Middle Grade Find: A Five-Star Journey with 'The Secret of the Magic eyePad

Written By Elena Jagar

The Secret of the Magic eyePad is a lot of fun! Marsha Tufft weaves a delightful tale that seamlessly blends fantasy, mystery, and STEM adventures. Putney Hicks, the socially awkward but endearing twelve-year-old, is a character middle-schoolers will be able to relate to.

The story begins when Putney stumbles upon a mysterious tablet with an artificial intelligence, sparking a journey into the world of inventions. The mix of preteen drama, STEM challenges, and clever innovations makes this book a captivating read for young minds.

Tufft's narrative is not just about a girl in STEM; it's an empowering journey that encourages readers to embrace their potential. Putney's encounters with a mean girl and her determination to navigate through challenges and subversions make for a compelling plot. The mysterious mentor adds an extra layer of intrigue and excitement.

The Secret of the Magic eyePad is an adventure that will inspire young readers to believe in their abilities. Highly recommended for those looking for a heartwarming and intellectually stimulating middle-grade read!

Elena Jagar:

Elena is an award-winning author of THE RAINBOW WEAVER'S APPRENTICE for middle-grade readers.

Elena's writing spans several genres, and she believes that a good story is made up first and foremost of great characters, ones that are relatable and interesting enough to stay with the reader long after the book is closed. She hopes her young readers come away from her books feeling that nothing is impossible.

When not writing, Elena enjoys horseback riding, tai chi, smelling the flowers, and petting bumblebees. Currently living overseas teaching English, Elena looks forward to having a garden and a menagerie of pets when she finally settles down in one place.

Tessa Kelly:

With a background in teaching and a degree in French, I've spent several years immersed in the unique atmosphere of uptown Brooklyn. Drawing inspiration from my experiences, I create novels that reflect the vibrancy of the neighborhoods, cafes, and coffee houses. Having worked in a bakery, much like the one featured in my novels, I developed a lasting fondness for cheesecake brownies. Beyond writing, I'm an avid explorer of hiking trails, passionate about baking, learning foreign languages, and experimenting with natural plant dyes.
