Middle-School Novel from USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Amy Vansant. For fans of Harry Potter, Narnia and Percy Jackson - The Magicatory is where fantasy, science, history and mythology meet! Brian, Anna, Marc and Cecily stumble into a wizard’s spell and are swept to the Magicatory, the magical factory / laboratory where everything is made and all mythical creatures and extinct animals live. Too bad they picked a lousy time to visit. A mysterious girl and a horde of goblins is planning an attack, one of the shape-shifting mages has been kidnapped, and a crazed dodo bird is on the loose. With dragons, pegacorns, phoenixes and other mythological creatures at every turn, the lost siblings have to figure out how to use their new superpowers before the multiverse is destroyed and they can never return to Earth!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Amy Vansant has written over 30 books, including the fun, thrilling Shee McQueen series, the rollicking, twisty Pineapple Port Mysteries, and the action-packed Kilty urban fantasies. Throw in a couple of romances and a YA fantasy for her nieces...

Amy specializes in fun, exciting reads with plenty of laughs and action -- she tried to write serious books, but they always ended up full of jokes, so she gave up.

Amy lives in Jupiter, Florida, with her muse/husband and a goony Bordoodle named Archer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zany fun!

When four siblings stumble into an alternate dimension, inhabited by mages, goblins, dragons, dodos, giant rocs, flying puppies, and other fantastical creatures, at first it looks like they’re in for a long stay. But the stay quickly turns into more of an adventure than they’d bargained for when the threat from the goblins trying to tear the fabric into their dimension grows suddenly urgent. The siblings are split up into two pairs for their own protection, as they embark with two pairs of mages to get to the bottom of the trouble, and more trouble (naturally) ensues.

VanSant has a breezy style that keeps this story fun and light, even when the darkest of things happen (and yes, characters die in this story—there are a few gory scenes).

Part of the fun is the voice of the narrator, who sets the stage right up front, Auntie, the CEO of the Magicatory, who pops in every so often to add commentary and bad jokes in italics.

I confess I didn’t see some of the twists coming, so kudos to VanSant for writing a weirdly wacky story that kept this adult interested. A charming, zany fantasy. Great fun!

This book as a little too "out there" for my taste. The author has a fantastic imagination, but there were too many weird things in this book for me to love it. There were loose ends that weren't explained .I realize there will probably be a book 2, but I like each story to be complete on its own. At the beginning, I felt the author was writing in a condescending manner toward the audience, but this lessened as the book continued, and I found myself enjoying the story. I really love her cozy mysteries, and look forward to reading more from her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed Full of Fun!

This is a great story. It's full of humor that made me laugh out loud, making my husband wonder several times what I was reading that happened to be so funny in bed.

Although targeted for middle grade children and YA, I think anyone could get a kick out of this story, adults and children alike. I'm going to keep re-reading this for a long time.

Zombies, parallel universes, magical powers, magical creatures... so much packed into such a quick read. I don't know how Amy Vansant did it!

Call me an Amy Vansant fan now.

This was a very interesting and fun book. I loved it, up to the end. I would have gave it 5 stars if it had told the rest of the story. I want to know what happens next!

3.0 out of 5 stars A good story, but refined would be great

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
The Magicatory was a lot of fun to read. The concept of having a place where magical things are created is an innovative aspect of the book. Four characters, Brian, Anna, Marc and Cecily are thrust into the world of the Magicatory. The narrator was funny and engaging in the beginning, but overall the point of view(s) in this book was confusing. At times it switched between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd point of views which caused me to take a second to figure out what was going on and who it was that was telling the story. I like books that play with point of view and alternating them, but it needs to be paired down as this book is intended for middle grade children, and it may be hard for them to follow.

I think that both boys and girls will be able to pick up this book and read it, which is important, and I like that this book plays to both genders.

As far as the story, I think that overall it was good, but it could have had more. More background and underlying story lines that would tie in to tension and a true climax. I am giving this book a three star rating because I really do think that children will enjoy the story, and not care too much about missing elements because they will be so into the story and the creatures that they won’t notice.

WHAT A BLAST!!! Amy Vansant is a very inventive writer. I just love her collection of diverse books. This one, The Magicatory, is really clever. She is calling it a children's book, but I lOVED IT! I read parts of it to my 7 year old niece over the phone and she became immediately enthralled. It's the kind of book a whole family can enjoy together.

My nine year old granddaughter gobbled this book up and when I read it to my younger granddaughter, I realized how perfectly the book held the interest of both child and adult. The plot is exciting and the characters really come to life....the author has one heck of an imagination!
