A Snicker Of Magic

"Always on the move because of her mother’s wandering ways, 12-year-old Felicity lands in Midnight Gulch, where her mother was born. The Southern town was once full of magic, but a curse put an end to that. Yet hints of magic remain, including Felicity’s ability to see words that reveal people’s true thoughts and desires. But in this lovely and quirky novel, the words she needs to understand most are her own. If Felicity can break the spell to rescue Midnight Gulch and heal her mother’s broken heart, she just may find a place to call “home.” (For ages 8 to 12)"
