An Indie Next Pick “An enchanting read!”—Margaret Peterson
Haddix, bestselling author of The Greystone Secrets “A
magical voyage of self-discovery.”—Jenn Reese, author
of A Game of Fox & Squirrels “Truly
marvelous.”—Booklist (starred review) The trick to all magic
is: you can only see it if you know where to look. The
magic-infused town of Aldermere is the first place eleven-year-old
Fin has ever felt safe—and she’ll do whatever it takes to save
her home when she accidentally unleashes a shadow self who wreaks
havoc everywhere she goes. Emily Lloyd-Jones’s middle grade debut
is an enchanting exploration of self-discovery and finding the
place you truly belong. Unseen Magic is for fans
of A Wish in the Dark and A Tangle of
Knots. Aldermere is a town with its own set of rules:
there’s a tea shop that vanishes if you try to force your way in,
crows that must be fed or they’ll go through your trash, and a
bridge that has a toll that no one knows the cost of. Some say that
there may even be bigfoots wandering through the woods. For Fin,
Aldermere is her new home. But she’s worried that she’ll do
something to mess it up—that she was the reason she
and her mother have constantly moved from place to place for so
long. When an upcoming presentation at her school’s science fair
gives her increasing anxiety, Fin turns to magic to ease her fears.
The cost is a memory, but there are things from her past Fin
doesn’t mind forgetting. This will be the last time she relies on
magic anyway, she's sure. Except things don’t go exactly
as planned. And instead of easing her anxiety, Fin accidentally
unleashes an evil doppelganger. Suddenly Aldermere is overrun with
unusual occurrences—and Fin is the only one who knows why. She
will have to face her fears—literally—to stop it. Emily
Lloyd-Jones crafts an atmospheric novel full of magic and mischief
while exploring what it means to stand up to your fears and accept
yourself. Unseen Magic is perfect for fans of Anna
Meriano’s Love Sugar Magic series and Natalie
Lloyd’s A Snicker of Magic.
