Got this book for my niece and nephew – they both loved it! They mentioned loving it as much as BLUEY. I highly recommend this to any child. It’s the much needed inspiration that all kids need.

My son absolutely went crazy for this book. I’ve never seen him so happy and inspired! I highly recommend it.

Honestly, this is beautiful.

I’ve read Nenu to my neighbors kids and they absolutely adored it! They were even shouting Nenu’s name when they were playing baseball. This book is so inspirational and great for all kids!

This books is so adorable and inspiring. I bought it for my neighbor’s kids and they absolutely loved it!

My son is Obsessed with Nenu and the tree people! I love the message this book is giving kids. My son makes me read Nenu before bed every night. Definitely recommending to all parents.

Whimsical, heartwarming, and filled with a touch of forest magic, The Society of Fantastically Wise Tree People is a delightful journey that blends childhood anxiety, fantasy, and self-discovery into an imaginative tale young readers will love—and adults will find surprisingly touching. At first glance, it’s a story about baseball and a boy named Jerry Wheeler who just can’t seem to get things right. But after a humiliating strikeout and a stumble into the woods, the narrative takes a wild and wonderful turn. What follows is a surreal adventure that introduces us to Nenu, a grumpy, magical little wizard with four-toed feet and a quick wit. Through their odd but endearing friendship, Jerry is challenged to think beyond the surface of wish-making and instead confront his deeper desires: confidence, courage, and connection. The writing sparkles with humor and heart, and the forest scenes are vivid, playful, and rich with metaphor. Nenu’s quirky personality contrasts beautifully with Jerry’s innocent uncertainty, creating a dynamic that feels authentic and emotionally resonant. Beneath the fantasy lies a subtle but powerful message about resilience, the power of imagination, and the longing every child has to feel seen, supported, and good enough. With a cast of wise tree people quietly cheering in the background and a tone that feels both classic and original, this book is a hidden gem that celebrates imperfection and growth in the most magical of ways. A perfect read for middle-grade audiences—or anyone who remembers what it’s like to fall down, dream big, and get back up again.

Nenu will always have a special place in my heart. Every parent should share this book with their child.

This book is truly so sweet and reminds me of my childhood. The illustrations are reminiscent of the classic children’s books I grew up with and the magical world of Nenu brings such joy to the kids I’ve read it to. I sure hope they put out more!

Nenu The Magical Wizard: If you believe… it can come true

By Kellie Madison

Rating:5/5

Review:

👉Nenu The Magical Wizard is a heartwarming, imaginative, and beautifully written middle-grade novel that blends fantasy and real-life emotion in a way that is both powerful and deeply relatable.

👉The story follows eight-year-old Jerry Wheeler, a young boy who is struggling with self-doubt and the weight of wanting to make his grandfather proud. After a particularly rough day on the baseball field—complete with a strikeout and a missed catch—Jerry feels like a complete failure. These opening scenes capture the everyday anxieties and emotional weight that so many children quietly carry.

👉But everything changes when Jerry stumbles into a nearby forest and discovers Nenu, a quirky, slightly grumpy, four-toed wizard trapped under a log. In exchange for his rescue, Nenu offers Jerry a magical power of his choice. What unfolds next is not just a story of fantasy and magical creatures—it’s a deeply moving journey of self-discovery, courage, and inner growth.

👉What makes this book truly special is the relationship between Jerry and Nenu. Their dynamic is filled with humor, honesty, and meaningful dialogue. Nenu’s tough love and sass are the perfect counterbalance to Jerry’s vulnerability and hesitation. Through their unlikely friendship, Jerry begins to understand that true power doesn’t come from outside ourselves—it comes from believing in who we are, even when we feel like we’ve fallen short.

👉The writing is vibrant and full of personality, with vivid forest scenes, whimsical touches, and just enough humor to make readers of all ages smile. But beneath the fantasy is a powerful message: that self-worth, resilience, and the desire to be seen and accepted are universal. The addition of the “Society of Fantastically Wise Tree People” adds an enchanting layer of metaphor and wisdom that quietly reinforces the story’s themes of growth and guidance.

👉Nenu The Magical Wizard is more than just a fun adventure.

Happy reading 😁😁

“Nenu is the coolest wizard ever! I love how he uses funny riddles and magic to help the tree people and beat the bad guy. My favorite part was when Nenu showed that the real magic was inside the kids all along. I wish I could go on an adventure with him! Can there please be a second book?”

“Nenu the Magical Wizard transported my daughter into a world filled with wonder, wisdom, and laughter. Every night, we read a chapter together, and by the end, she wasn’t just entertained — she was inspired. The lessons of courage, kindness, and believing in yourself are woven so naturally into the story. It’s rare to find a children’s book that sparks the imagination and teaches such powerful values. We’ll be revisiting Treetopia again and again!”
