This was a fantasy adventure book for children between the ages of 10 – 14. The story centered around Adelaide, a young witch who loses her magic. In exchange for getting her magic back, she must return an emerald to an ancient city. Along the way, she meets new friends, faces challenges, and learns what the emerald contains. From there she questions returning the emerald is worth getting her magic back.
This project became a form of experimentation and expanding her illustration skills. In a series of 16 illustrations, Madeline was able to explore Adelaide’s world.
