Welcome to the Magical World of Oogley – Book 1: Seluna Cottage – The Big Move by Janine Plumb is a beautifully written children’s story that brings together magic, family, and the healing power of imagination. This heartwarming tale, the first in the Oogley series, captures the importance of love, courage, and curiosity in helping families navigate life’s changes.
When the Witchlock family moves into their late grandmother’s home, Seluna Cottage, they expect an ordinary house filled with memories. Instead, they discover that the cottage holds a world of mystery, wonder, and enchantment. A glowing moonstone ring, a magical key, and a hidden door in the garden open the path to Oogley—a place where the past and present connect through love and courage. Through their journey, the Witchlocks learn that even when someone we love is gone, their presence continues to shine through laughter, kindness, and memory.
Author Janine Plumb draws inspiration from her own life, completing the book after the loss of her mother in 2024. Her experience working with children and young people for over three decades shaped her understanding of the power of storytelling to teach empathy and resilience. The result is a story that comforts as much as it inspires. “I wanted to write a book that shows children that love never disappears—it just changes form,” Janine shares. “It becomes the memories, the lessons, and the light we carry forward.”
Welcome to the Magical World of Oogley is an invitation to slow down, imagine, and rediscover the simple magic that exists within everyday life. With its gentle themes of family, hope, and courage, the book offers parents and children an opportunity to explore feelings of loss, change, and togetherness in a safe and uplifting way. Its charm lies in its ability to combine emotional depth with lighthearted adventure, making it ideal for family reading and classroom discussion alike.
The story of Oogley reminds children that courage comes in many forms, whether it’s facing new beginnings, standing up for one another, or believing in something unseen. It celebrates kindness as a quiet form of bravery and shows that it never truly fades. Parents will appreciate how naturally the story encourages empathy, imagination, and confidence in young readers.
Welcome to the Magical World of Oogley – Book 1: Seluna Cottage – The Big Move will soon be available in both paperback and eBook formats through major online retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Waterstones, as well as through the publisher’s official website.
In a world that often moves too fast, Oogley stands as a timeless reminder that imagination, love, and family are the true sources of magic. It is a story that children will cherish and parents will hold close to their hearts, a gentle, hopeful journey that stays with readers long after the final page is turned.
