A Snicker of Magic

by Natalie Lloyd

Felicity's mama is a wanderer. She has a hard time staying in one place for very long, so Felicity and her little sister don't get too comfortable anywhere. When they wind up in Midnight Gulch, where mama grew up, Felicity falls in love with the town, where there is a little bit of magic, but there used to be more. She wonders where all the magic has gone, because Felicity carries a little bit of magic around with her. She sees words like auras--they float around a person's head and tell her a bit about what they are thinking or feeling. She's so happy in Midnight Gulch, living with her no-nonsense aunt Cleo, meeting her uncle for the first time, and helping out the town's mysterious benefactor, The Beedle. But mama's already got the travel bug brewing again. Can Felicity settle her mama's heart down enough to finally make a home?

If you like books like Savvy, or A Tangle of Knots, you'll eat this one up, too!
