Sayonara Magic (Volume 2): Family Charms

Ages 8 to 10, Grades 3 to 5

The Tanaka triplets are back with more magic, more mischief, and even more family chaos than before! This second illustrated chapter book in the Sayonara Magic series blends a beautiful black-and-white manga art style with engaging, easy-to-read text that’s perfect for young readers.

Rendered in a gorgeous, manga-esque art style and with engaging prose, readers will love reading about how Hiro, Akira, and Naoki work together to use their magic and get out of all sorts of chaos (even if it's of their own making . . . ).

In this book, the triplets must avoid a magical inspector, try to save a family wedding from supernatural creatures, and figure out a way to get home after they've been accidentally sent back in time!

Perfect for anime and manga enthusiasts, authors Burakkuberi and Kumanakris expertly blend comics with traditional prose, making the Sayonara Magic series the perfect bridge books for young, emerging, and English as Second Language (ESL) readers.
