A fantasy/adventure style book, Blat Magic is about the Blats, a race of people who live high in the trees, an orphan boy called Pinguel, and the world beyond the edge of the forest. When things start to go wrong right and left in the Deep Forest, an owl comes to take Pinguel to the city, for it is his destiny to save the Blats. 

This is an amazing story, with interesting twists and good humour.  Aimed at kids of the Harry Potter age, it is still a good read for an adult, and it would probably entertain a toddler as well.  All in all, a great book.  You could read it anywhere and the story would not lose any of its quality.  I would recommend this to anyone who likes to travel from this mundane world we live in and be taken to a place full of adventure and magic.
