In a world where magic shimmers just beyond the edge of reality, young Mig McArthur lives a lonely life, overshadowed by her cruel Cousin Belinda. But when a mysterious bird appears at her window one misty morning, calling her name, everything changes. Led by the peculiar yet charming Dawnchild-a radiant girl from a land of enchantment-Mig embarks on a thrilling adventure far beyond the confines of her dreary home.
Journeying to the mystical Dawnland, Mig encounters whimsical creatures, cunning foes, and the magical Dawnchildren, all while discovering courage, friendship, and the extraordinary beauty within the unseen world. As enemies lurk and ancient powers stir, Mig must summon her strength to escape the clutches of her jealous cousin and find happiness in a land where dreams come to life.

The Dawnchild is sheer magic from the first word to the last. My Mum was given this book as a child and lent it to me as a poorly child. I lost myself in its wonderful tale of Mignonette and The Dawnchild. Every page hums with magic, humour and excitement, with a story that just whips along.
My Dad searched high and low for years, hoping to find another copy of my very own (years before the internet). However, he found one in 1990 and saved it for me, to give at Christmas. Sadly, he died before that, so it was left for my Mum to gift it to me. I can’t tell you how overjoyed I am to have The Dawnchild by Beryl Irving always at my side
The illustrations are also beautiful.
