Our Review

This graphic novel adventure follows Ocellus, a young Changeling, as she prepares for exams at the School of Friendship by using her unique shape-shifting abilities to bring Equestria's history to life. Readers are treated to a visual journey through the magical kingdom's past, where lessons about cooperation and understanding are woven directly into the exciting narrative. The story cleverly frames historical exploration as a school project, making the educational content feel organic and engaging rather than didactic.

What makes this fantasy story particularly distinctive is how it centers on Ocellus's perspective, allowing children to experience history through a character who can literally transform into historical figures. This creative approach to storytelling provides a wonderful metaphor for developing empathy and seeing the world through others' eyes. Young readers who enjoy character-driven adventures with positive messages about friendship and creative problem-solving will find this both entertaining and meaningful, leaving them with the reassuring message that our unique qualities are our greatest strengths.
