Happy Thursday! Happy August 1! There's just a little over a month left of summer break. I am so far behind in my GR goal, it isn't even funny. Part of the reason is Helga! She takes up so much time and energy! She's coming along, but she's A LOT!
#tbt features A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd. This was Ms. Lloyd's debut and published in 2014. Twelve-year-old Felicity is tired of moving frequently. Her mother has a sad and restless heart. When they land in Midnight Gulch, Tennessee, Felicity sees possibilities. She also has the gift of seeing words in the air. It seems Midnight Gulch has lost its magic. Can she and her new friend, Jonah help the town break its curse and can Felicity get Mama to settle down and stay for a while?
A Snicker of Magic was an E.B. White Read Aloud Honor book, an ALA Notable book, a New York Times Editor's Pick, and an NPR Best Book of 2014. Ms. Lloyd's subsequent books are: The Key to Extraordinary, Over the Moon, The Problim Children series, Hummingbird, and her forthcoming The Witching Wind, which I reviewed yesterday.
Happy reading!
