Pinch of Magic (Pinch of Magic)
A spellbinding middle grade fantasy about three sisters who go on a quest to break the curse that's haunted their family for generations.
All Betty Widdershins wants is an adventure -- one that takes her far away from Crowstone, the gloomy island where she's always lived.
But instead of an adventure, Betty and her sisters, Fliss and Charlie, are given a set of magical objects, each with its own powers: a scruffy carpet bag, a set of wooden nesting dolls, and a gilt-framed mirror. And these magical objects come with their own terrible secret: the sisters' family is haunted by a generations-long curse that prevents them from ever leaving their island -- at the cost of death.
The sisters set out to break the curse and free their family forever. But after stumbling upon a mysterious prisoner who claims to be able to help them, they find themselves in great danger. And in order to break the curse -- and stay alive -- they must unravel a mystery that goes back centuries, one that involves shipwrecks, smugglers, and sorcery of the most perilous kind.
Target age group 8-12
