Small Magics - by Emily Tetri (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A young girl uncovers the small magics of her aunts' island home, where dogs talk and the wind blows your way if you say "please," in this stunning middle grade graphic novel from the Geisel Honor creator of Tiger vs. Nightmare. Perfect for fans of The Moth Keeper.

It's the last summer before Sara's family moves and she has to start over at a new school. The last summer before everything changes. But instead of spending it with the friends she'll be leaving behind, Sara is sent to stay with her aunts on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere, miles and miles away from any other kids.

At least it's a magical island.

The moment Sara steps foot on its shores, she begins to discover the small magics that make life there an endlessly surprising adventure. From talking animals to trees with minds of their own, this island is full of impossible, incredible things. And with her aunts' two dogs as her eager (and very chatty) guides, Sara is ready to discover them all.

Celebrate the sweetness of summer, the joy of new friendships, and the hidden wonders of the world with Small Magics.
