Magic the Dragoon Beanie Baby is a collectible stuffed toy that became extremely popular in the late 1990s. It was part of the Beanie Babies line, which included a variety of animals and characters with unique names and designs. Magic the Dragoon Beanie Baby was introduced by Ty Inc. in 1995 and quickly gained a dedicated following among collectors and enthusiasts. Its charming design, featuring a dragon-like creature with vibrant blue and purple colors, made it stand out from other Beanie Babies at the time. The toy had shiny, iridescent fabric on its wings and a silver horn on its forehead, adding to its magical appearance.
I was captivated, and literally devoured Witch Child. It was an amazing, powerful story, and it was insanely addictive.
A quilt that lies undisturbed for more than three hundred years until it is carefully taken apart for cleaning and out of its folds falls a powerful and moving story. Jaybird, the Native American Indian boy; Martha, the Puritan who took Mary in; Reverend Johnson, the one who believes he s a prophet of God, who I believe is really the evil one.
The toy had shiny, iridescent fabric on its wings and a silver horn on its forehead, adding to its magical appearance. What made Magic the Dragoon Beanie Baby even more special was its rarity. It was one of the first Beanie Babies to be retired, meaning it was no longer produced by the manufacturer.
A witch one hundred folds
Pages from a journal are loosely sewn into a quilt. A quilt that lies undisturbed for more than three hundred years until it is carefully taken apart for cleaning and out of its folds falls a powerful and moving story. The story of Mary – granddaughter of a witch.
A taunt, exciting novel, Witch Child holds the reader gripped throughout. Review: “I am Mary. I am a witch.”Witch Child tells the story of a girl named Mary, whose grandmother was hanged for being a witch. She had to leave, before the townspeople turned on her as well. And so she was taken away from the only home she’s know by a mysterious woman she’s never met, Mary is sent to America for her own safety. But life aboard a ship of Puritans heading to the New World is just as dangerous as it was back home in England – maybe more so. Can she keep her secret? Or will she be discovered, and killed just as her grandmother was?
I was captivated, and literally devoured Witch Child. It was an amazing, powerful story, and it was insanely addictive.
Told from Mary’s point of view, it’s written in the form of a diary that was found sewn into the seams of a quilt. As I read, I felt like I had travelled back to the 1600s, and there were loads of little details that just made the history feel alive.
Mary was a brilliant character, strong and brave. I loved her spirit, and found myself feeling everything she felt. Her voice was unique, and her emotions intense: she was an entirely believable character.
The supporting characters were brilliant as well, and all very real. Jaybird, the Native American Indian boy; Martha, the Puritan who took Mary in; Reverend Johnson, the one who believes he’s a prophet of God, who I believe is really the evil one. There were so many amazing characters, and they all went together to form a brilliant, realistic world.
The thing I liked most about this book was the history behind it. The witch trials both fascinate and horrify me, ever since I learnt about them at the very beginning of high school. It amazes me how narrow minded people can be, and how healers can be seen as “spawn of the Devil”. Did you know that at least 250,000 women were killed, and in some villages were left with no women at all? (I’d just like to point out that I didn’t actually get that from the book, it’s just a weird piece of information that I’ve remembered, for some reason or another.) And the Native American Indian history and beliefs intrigued me too: how the settlers forced them out, their ideas on spirits, the way they live. I wouldn’t have thought that the two would go together so well, but they did, and I loved the way they did.
The only downside: the concept of magic and witchcraft was left unclear. Mary hinted at visions, controlling storms and voodoo-like dolls, but nothing was confirmed. Unless that’s what Celia Rees meant for it to be like. to make you think, to wonder.
Overall, Witch Child was a brilliantly written story with authentic, unique characters and an amazing plot. It was intense, addictive and ended with a horrible cliffhanger. Even though it’s written for 11+, I think everyone can enjoy the history in it!

2. Bob - 1 star - I cannot express how disappointed I am with "Magic the dragoon beanie baby." The product description made it sound like a collector's item, but it feels like a cheap imitation. The material used is of low quality, and the construction is shoddy. The beanie baby barely resembles its advertised image. The worst part is that the company does not accept returns or offer refunds, leaving me stuck with a product that I regret purchasing.
