THE MAGIC ROOM
Sue Clarke
| It was a wet, rainy day in the school holidays. Poppy looked out of the window at the rain and thought about her parents. | |
They were on a long holidaytravelling round the world. They said Poppy was too young to go. So Poppy was staying with her Aunt Bella in her funny old house with lots of rooms and strange noises.

Poppy stepped into the strangestroom she had ever seen. The walls were changing colour and were decorated with sparkly silver and gold stars and moons. First blue, then pink, then purple and gold mixed together. It was like liquid...
