Dear reader,

We are not a corporation.
We are a family.

We started Magland Books at our kitchen table with an idea for stories we wanted our kids to grow up with: wholesome books that encourage a love of adventure, friendship, and faith. Stories rooted in courage, kindness, trust, and the joy that comes from loving others.

We chose every word carefully. We chose every illustration carefully. We took our time. And we'll keep taking our time, because the best read-aloud at the end of a long day is one that the writer also believes in.

If that sounds like the kind of book you want on your shelf, we'd love to share what we've made.

adventure on every page

Two titles in print, both ours.

From grizzly bear mysteries to pirates with the sniffles, our stories pull young readers in and keep them coming back. Wholesome and exciting belong together.

A small list. We don't grow it carelessly. Every book is chosen and published by us.
