MY REVIEW
There are 3 books in Magic Animal Cafe series. Book 1) Herriot the Caretaker, Book 2) Shazza the Homesick Cockatoo And now Book 3) Robbie the Rebel Squirrel.
Ellie’s mum is opening a new cat cafe. The building had been owned by Ellie’s grandfather who had been a vet. When he died Ellie’s mum took the building over.
Since Ellie and Blake found an old fashioned black telephone and dialling a number, they magically could talk to animals, but it’s one of Ellie’s and Blake’s secrets.
Ellie’s mums new cat cafe is nearly ready to open. Ellie takes the newspaper’s off the inside of the windows, and sees that her grandfather was in the paper but the newspaper is torn. All Ellie can make out is Local Vet committed to, but where is the rest of the newspaper?
Shazza a cockatoo that lives in the park needs some help, the park is being redeveloped.
A red squirrel takes the newspaper cuttings out of Blake’s hands.
A developer wants to buy Ellie’s mums building. The scary part is someone is playing with the old black telephone that gave Ellie and Blake their super powers to talk to all animals. This book
Magic Animal Cafe Robbie the Rebel Squirrel is ideal for all children who love a bit of magic and stories involving animals. The red and grey squirrels reminded me of the fabulous cartoon Alvin the Chipmunks. I think this series of Magic Animal Cafe books would make a lovely fun cartoon!
About author Stella Tarakson
Writing for kids is one of the most enjoyable things I’ve ever done. I love being transported to a simpler, brighter place where adult problems fade into the background and you see the world through the eyes of a child again. I’ve taken a bit of a break from fiction while writing educational books and mini-documentaries (which is also hugely enjoyable). But now I’m back!

I love the sound of a telephone that allows you to talk to animals.
