Representaion To Books A Snicker of Magic

Introducing an extraordinary new voice---a magical debut that will make your skin tingle, your eyes glisten . . .and your heart sing.

Midnight Gulch used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity knows all about things like that; her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart.

But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck's about to change. A "word collector," Felicity sees words everywhere---shining above strangers, tucked into church eves, and tangled up her dog's floppy ears---but Midnight Gulch is the first place she's ever seen the word "home." And then there's Jonah, a mysterious, spiky-haired do-gooder who shimmers with words Felicity's never seen before, words that make Felicity's heart beat a little faster.

Felicity wants to stay in Midnight Gulch more than anything, but first, she'll need to figure out how to bring back the magic, breaking the spell that's been cast over the town . . . and her mother's broken heart.

When you read a lot, you're looking for new books that surprise and delight you. A Snicker of Magic is charming and extraordinary because Natalie Lloyd's personality shines through every page. I don't think the book is perfect--the plot threatens to spiral out of control and I could barely keep track of the staggering cast of characters, but Ms. Lloyd brings it together at the end for a satisfying conclusion.Look for more from this debut author. She's the real deal. A remarkable fresh talent.



I wish I had been keeping track of all my favourite lines but, then again, that would probably be the vast majority of the book copied and pasted. I really love Lloyd's writing style. There's a certain kind of world-weary, innocent magic in it. Everything has a colour or a shape and a sound. Felicity has a unique way of seeing the world that that comes through in every sentence.On top of that, the pacing is well-done, the story is strong and interesting without being complicated or overwhelming.

Felicitys mother loves to move to new places, so Felicity has lived all over the country. But when her mother returns to the small town of Midnight Gulch, Felicity quickly realizes she has never lived in any place quite like this one. Midnight Gulch had once been full of magic of all sorts, but then a curse took the magic away and drove two brothers apart as well. But there is magic left in town, if you know where to look. Its not big magic, just little pieces that were left behind. Felicity has
