Product Description
Product Description
While his mum recovers from cancer, Joe (and Bingo - the only psychic dog in England) stays with cousin Molly and her dad at the scientific research institute in the countryside. Early one morning, Joe hears a strange wailing sound - like an animal in distress. Molly hears it, too, and they trace it to the disused swimming pool at the back of the institute. However, there are no animals: the scientists are meant to be researching plants. Then Molly and Joe make an amazing discovery: a creature which is part-plant and part-animal. The Planimal can photosynthesise and make its own food. It's a mind-blowing discovery with huge implications for the scientific world. Some people, however, want to use the Planimal for their own selfish ends. Who are they, what do they want, and can Molly and Joe defeat them - and set the Planimal free?
About the Author
Rebecca Lisle was born into a family of artists, and chose to study Biology instead. She developed a strong interest in plant life. One day, mashing up some leaves into a green sludge in the lab, a friend dared her to drink the potion. The idea for Planimal Magic was born! Rebecca's other books include the novel, Copper (Andersen Press) and re-tellings for Hodder Wayland.

I got this book on the first day it came out because i realy like this writer. It was an exciteing story about a thing that is a cross between a plant and a animal and these two children who try to save it. i liked the boy in it (Joe) because he liked magic and magic tricks and he was quite funny. when he goes green and starts to turn into a plant it is a bit scarey but he is ok in the end. it made me think about plants a bit. i think this is a book that lots of boys and girls of my age would like.

I loved this book, it's really fun. I think being green would be a great idea and I'd like to be too.
I wish i had a dog like Bingo.

This is a really great story. Joe is an amateur magician, he and his (not very), psychic dog, Bingo, go to spend a week at The Centre For Botanical Research. On his very first night Joe hears a terrible wail from the garden. What can it be? Molly and Joe find there is a creature trapped in the old, disused swimming pool and that the new scientists are doing horrid things to it. They have to defeat the scientists and save the monster. I loved this book, enjoyed every moment. I urge you to read it!
