The Mutants – The Book of Black Magic

Ingela Korsell & Daniel Thollin

An experiment gone wrong and a group of children with animal mutations. Science and magic meet in this action-packed hybrid between chapter book and graphic novel, that takes place now and in the future.
In The Book of Black Magic, the second book in the series, four of the five mutant children have been reunited and are hiding from their pursuer. But how are they going to rescue Molly, the fifth child, who is locked in a culvert under the university? They have to learn to cooperate and wield their mutant powers – and that has to be done quickly!

An exciting story that doesn’t shy away from bigger questions. Adventure, heartburn, and a touch of humor for middle grade readers, both bookworms and those that haven’t started to love books yet.

By comic book illustrator Daniel Thollin and Ingela Korsell, teacher, reading promoter and author of the popular PAX books and the non-fiction series Vaesen.
