In this magical adventure, we follow Penelope, whose grey hair has suddenly turned red and who has just discovered that the absent father she`s never known was a wizard and she has magic too. This is the story of her learning about her new gift and searching for her father, and there`s something about the writing style that reminded me of reading authors like Enid Blyton and E. Nesbitt, as it has such a cosy, nostalgic feel to it. I also really liked the worldbuilding and the different elements of Penelope`s magic, especially her being able to chat with the road (who was a great character) and her ability to fly, though I do wish we`d gotten to learn more about the magical community and how everything worked. Finally, I really appreciated how good the translation from German seemed to be. While German isn`t one of my languages, I do study two and so know how tricky getting smooth translations for passages can be, so I found how natural the language sounded in English really impressive. 4/5
