Reviews & Testimonials
What's inside?
AQUILA Editor, Freya Hardy reflects on why the magazine is so special to her 8 –14-year-old readers and families:
Unbelievably, AQUILA Children’s Magazine is 30 years old this month! Over the years we’ve printed over 350 issues and covered every topic, from puppets to Pompeii.
We’ve made carrot ice cream, completed the coin drop challenge and produced a ton of papier-mâché. We’ve sent rockets into space (OK, just into next door’s garden). We’ve dived into the world of Jacques Cousteau, investigated quantum computers, interviewed volcanologists and folks who design houses on the Moon.
But we’re not done YET!
AQUILA’s most important people don’t actually work at AQUILA HQ, because the most important people, the real VIPs, are AQUILA readers! There are thousands of them, in over 90 countries. Some live on the other side of the world, or deep in the countryside, with dogs, rabbits and chickens for company. Some go to school, others do not. Some do gymnastics, or raise money for wildlife charities. Some are scientists, mathematicians or engineers. Some write plays, or draw manga.
Some send us envelopes full of sequins in the post (no letter, just the sparkles!).
Some AQUILA readers are 8 years old, and some are eighty, but they all have things in common. They are all curious, compassionate, creative, sometimes contrary, courageous and FULL TO THE BRIM with BIG ideas. We would love you to share the AQUILA universe with us too, and here’s to another 30 years!
