Magic Beach is one of those books which send a shiver of appreciation, recognition and wonder down your spine. Alison Lester draws us into the reality of fantasy for children as we share the powerful images of the children during a holiday at the seaside. It's brilliant - reality gets three-quarters of a double-spread full of fascinating detail, but secret fantasy focuses us down to an intimate peephole view which entices us to share and imagine.
