About this listen

Deep in the forest, there's a very special tree, and inside its trunk you'll find The Magic Potions Shop.

When the sky goes dark, for no reason at all Grandpa sends Tibben to the Frozen Tundra to find out why. The snowy plains are home to fierce-sounding magical creatures like Frost Wolves, Shadow Owls and Blizzard Bears! Tibben is nervous, but luckily his best friend, Wizz, is there to help him. Together, can they bring back the light?

This is the third enchanting instalment in the Magic Potions Shop series.

My son ADORES this series

The actual title of this story should have been something along the lines of "The Golden Prince." But the publishers (probably correctly) assumed that cute animals sell better to kids.

However, leaving aside the fact that Patch the Lightning Pup is a minor, supporting character at best, this is still a welcome deviation from the formula of the first three audiobooks. With the protagonist being tempted by the 'Dark Side,' or rather, the 'Solid Gold Side' in a moment of resentment as he prioritises praise over doing genuine good. Inadvertently causing a great deal of harm before finally being reminded who his true friends and what his true goals are.
