This new fantasy series by an internationally best-selling author will appeal to Pokémon collectors, fans of creature-filled video games, and anyone who dreams of attending magic school.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBitsy and her best friend, Kosh, are spending a normal evening playing video games--until a purple hamster the size of a bathtub barges in and eats Bitsy's gym clothes. Now it's a race against time to rescue Bitsy's dad from a mysterious kidnapper, which starts with learning the truth--that he, Bitsy, and Kosh can conjure magicores, creatures made from the energy of emotions. From magic-carpet-like huffluffs to shape-changing (and purring) copycats and big, stinky lubberwharls, countless magicores exist hidden in plain sight, as do the schools that teach young conjurers to wield their powers. But the world of conjurers also features conflicts between guilds, and Bitsy's dad may have been caught up in one. With minimal training, it's up to Bitsy and Kosh to win an international race to find a long-lost magical object. The two friends must decide who to trust as they solve riddles, fight imaginative magical battles, and get to know the wide, wonderful world of magicores--before a shadowy archvillain destroys everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walker Books Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.05h x 5.50w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536241600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 9-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2025 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJennifer Bell\u003c\/b\u003e worked as a children's bookseller at a world-famous bookshop before becoming an author.
