February 8, 2016
In a folksy tale laced with supernatural mystery, Lloyd (A Snicker of Magic) poetically conveys the depth of 12-year-old Emma's emotions as she embarks on a quest to uncover a legendary secret. Except for the times when Emma is overcome by "the Big Empty," a feeling she gets when she misses her recently deceased mother, she is an ordinary girl. Still, there are things in her Blackbird Hollow home that are extraordinary, like flowers with magical powers, the haunted graveyard just beyond her house, the tantalizing "Boneyard Brew" served in her grandmother's cafe, and The Book of Days, which records the "destiny dreams" of her ancestors (interspersed through the story). When her grandmother, plagued by money worries, considers selling the family business, Emma is determined to save the cafe by finding treasure, reputedly buried in the graveyard. The book's evocative setting and cast of eccentric minor characters will draw readers into Emma's worldâone warmed by friendship, love, and hopeâto share in her discovery that the most valuable treasures lie within. Ages 8â12. Agent: Suzie Townsend, New Leaf Literary & Media.

- content: Narrator Kate Simses's portrayal of 12-year-old Emma is youthful, spunky, and, at times, tinged with the sadness of "the Big Empty," a feeling that began with the recent death of Emma's mother. Simses's Southern accents give a sense of Black Bird Hollow and the Boneyard Café, owned by Emma's tattooed, motorcycle-riding Granny Blue. Doing great justice to Lloyd's colorful descriptions and flights of fancy, Simses skips through unique similes, heightens the tension of the haunted graveyard, and bursts into the songs embedded in the story. Her expression of the magical words and situations is as strong as her voicing of Emma's confusion about the Destiny Dream that will steer her future. S.W.
