Where Magic Breathes: Tales from Young Storytellers?

Where Magic Breathe: Tales from Young Storytellers is a vibrant anthology crafted by three promising young authors; Nivathi, Aishani, and Ektaa. These stories invite readers to pause, imagine, and wonder. With fantasy, mystery, and humour woven across every page, this collection is perfect for children aged 10?14, classroom libraries, and family read-aloud.
Let?s begin with Nivathi. Her trio of linked stories; The Sword of Demilora, The Unsolved Demilore Case, and The Young Soul Wish; introduce us to a legendary island that appears only when remembered. Two best friends, a magical sword, and a forgotten prophecy begin what seems like a vacation and quickly becomes a quest. Then comes a new narrator, Edna, a young girl who isn?t looking for magic; only answers. But Demilore doesn?t forget those who come searching. In the final tale, we hear from Summer, a soul caught between lives. Her perspective is powerful and deeply moving. These stories explore bravery, grief, identity, and the resilience of young girls facing the unknown.
Next comes Aishani with a laugh-out-loud mystery, Jelly the Cat Was a Naughty Little Brat. Set in a big, busy household, this story follows a quick-thinking girl, her loyal dog Teddy, and a not-so-innocent purple cat named Jelly. Bread has been vanishing; and the chase is on. It?s quirky, relatable, and delightfully unpredictable. Perfect for readers who love pets, puzzles, and a bit of mischief.
Ektaa closes the book with two thoughtful, eerie, and elegant tales. In The Memory Painter, we meet Elias, an artist who can recreate lost memories. But when a stranger requests a painting of a moment that never happened, something shifts. This isn?t just imagination; it?s memory with consequences. In The Other Side Aria, a quiet house filled with mirrors hides something darker. When a girl disappears and returns not quite herself, her younger brother must uncover what?s real; and what?s pretending to be.
