When twelve-year-old Cisley’s mother, who controls real magic, disappears during a magic act, Cisley is left with her cold, distant uncle and a great mystery, which will only be solved if she can summon her own magic. Visiting her grandmother in the Louisiana bayou, ten-year-old Maddy begins to realize that she may be the only sibling to carry on the gift of her family’s magical legacy.

However, the themes of cooperation, friendship, and love prevail, no matter where (or when) protagonists find themselves. From time travel to innate magical powers, the interpretation of the word “magic” differs from one story to the next. This collection of books is selected for readers ages 8-12 and focuses on magic in several forms.

Imagining other worlds, fantastic creatures, and daring adventures enhances the depth and intrigue of real life. Ordinary life looks different when magic is introduced, which adds to the allure of books centered around magic realism and fantasy.
