Lula's Aunties want her to be a witch like them. But Lula prefers
to study cookbooks rather than spellbooks (and hates to fly on a
broom). Lula wants to be a famous chef. In desperation, the Aunties
insist she try to make one last potion. Lula secretly adds her
cooking flair and in true witchy fashion creates a brew that
bewitches the entire town, and her Aunties too This fun rhyming
tale transcends the typical Halloween story to appeal to cooks and
"foodies" throughout the year.
The thrilling and romantic second novel in the Incarnate
trilogy, a fantasy series about a girl who is the first new soul
born into a society where everyone else has been reborn hundreds of
times.
As a Newsoul, Ana has always felt alone. Some residents of Heart
are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable
change and the unknown. When the people turn violent, Ana must
learn to stand up not only for herself, but also for those who
cannot stand up for themselves.
Romantic and action-filled, the rich world of Asunder is perfect
for fans of epic fantasy, like Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The
Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, while Ana's courage to
expose the cracks in society and fight for what is right is ideal
for fans of dystopian novels.
