[Magical Stories]
Welcome to a magical world of dark wizards, angry giants, wicked witches and scary spells.
In these fantastic stories, you will meet Maxim the Giant, who builds a wall around his garden to keep the children out, but learns a valuable lesson in the process; and Bart the Nightingale, who helps his human friend, Lance, to find a present for the girl he loves. You will also read about a Magic Bed that gets grumpy if you don't jump on it; a Money Tree that has a dark secret; and a dark wizard who tries to use spells to win the heart of the beautiful Seraphina... but first he has to stop his hair from burning and avoid the giant bullfrog! If that isn't enough to satisfy your taste for magic, the tale of the Hospitable Witch will definitely leave you feeling anything but hungry! Why? There's only one way to find out...
[Love Stories]
It makes the world go round. It's the thing that can make you feel like you are floating on air or drowning in an endless ocean. It is the most powerful thing on earth, and that's why we have always adored reading stories about it... love.
In this collection of short stories, you will read about love in all its many forms: from the young love of two teenagers battling distance and opposition to prove that young love really does exist, to the forbidden love of a young Nepali couple, searching for each other in the aftermath of an earthquake. We take you on a walk through the places where we meet and fall in love. Whether it's over champagne in the first class cabin on a plane, on a dating website on the internet, or over mops and buckets in a high school, the result is always the same: heart-stopping, breathtaking, jaw-dropping love.
Magical Stories and Love Stories are published by Hippo Books, a publisher dedicated to producing interesting, readable and fun books. These books are suitable for English students with intermediate English or higher. Be sure to check out our other Hippo Graded Readers.
