Elemental magic has long been a great source of inspiration for children's books, so we're always excited for new stories that play with air, water, fire and earth, and getting the children excited about nature. The Elementals is that perfect series for readers aged 6+, written by Love Ssega and illustrated throughout by Erika Meza.
These books are set in Sealand, an island where Wanzu and his friends live. They all have magical powers, and Wanzu is yet to discover his own. The friends must all work together to keep their island home safe, using their magical powers to save their people.
This is a sweet series about self-belief, friendship and home. If you enjoyed this series and would like to read more books like this, we highly recommend checking out our blog posts on the Best Magical Book Series for 5 and 6 year olds and the Best Graphic Novel Series for 5 and 6 year olds.
