Butterfly Wishes: Tiger Streak's Tale by Jennifer Castle
Bloomsbury, 2017. ISBN 9781681193731
(Age: 6+) "Sisters Addie and Clara have just moved to a new house
where they discover that their backyard is a gateway to an enchanted
realm of magical butterflies. These special butterflies - called
Wishing Wings - have the power to make wishes come true!
A new butterfly named Tiger Streak has just emerged, but something
isn't right. She's under a curse that has her confused - she thinks
she's a bee because of her beautifully striped wings! Now, only
Addie and Clara can help her break the spell. But they have to do it
before the day is over or she'll lose her magic forever."

Well who does not like a girlie book? With the eye-catching cover, I
am sure this will be a hit with young girls who are moving onto
chapter books. The text is reasonably large and set out like a novel
for the skilled reader. This will sit along-side the likes of Juliet,
Nearly a Vet, Clementine Rose and Violet Mackerel.
The storyline follows a traditional narrative but in all good books,
it has a happy ending! This is sure to become a popular series.
Suitable for ages 6 and up
