The most recent book in the fantastic Hilo series, this book number 7 will not disappoint young readers. Regina Lee Cooper who everyone calls Gina, is having a weird day. She  can see magical beings — large magical beings that no one else can see…And, as if this isn’t enough, she has made a new discovery about  herself –SHE can now do magic. But having magical powers is not without some challenges. Will Gina be able to utilize her powers and help those in need without doing some major damage to people she cares about. Or even worst, could she destroy the planet???? Fast-paced with a combination of far out challenges and normal everyday challenges that young people face, this story will keep kids reading to the end. Always funny and yet balanced with some tender moments, readers will be rooting for their favorite characters.  A graphic novel with plenty of appeal for a wide range of readers.  A solid addition to both public and school libraries.

A four star review.
