To read The Lost Spells is to see anew the natural world within our grasp and to be reminded of what happens when we allow it to slip away. Adapted from a book that was ‘written to be read aloud’, The Lost Spells is a creative response to the climate crisis summoning back what is often lost, inspiring audiences to care for the natural world and reminding them of the names of flora and fauna that are fading from our awareness. If you or your child like spooky adventures, brave characters, and magical journeys, then you’ll love Anderson Atlas’s thrilling tale. Kindred in spirit to The Lost Words but fresh in its form, The Lost Spells introduces a beautiful new set of natural spell-poems and artwork by beloved creative duo Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. Robert Macfarlane’s spell-poems and Jackie Morris’s watercolour illustrations are musical and magical: these are summoning spells, words of recollection, charms of protection. The Lost Spells is the first book in the exciting Magee Chronicles middle grade fantasy series. The Lost Spells evokes the wonder of everyday nature, conjuring up red foxes, birch trees, jackdaws, and more in poems and illustrations that flow between the pages and into readers’ minds.

Now, The Lost Spells, a book kindred in spirit and tone, continues to re-wild the lives of children and adults. Since its publication in 2017, The Lost Words has enchanted readers with its poetry and illustrations of the natural world. This movie makes being young look like the opposite of fun, a spell you’ve got to break out of.
