Tales of Mundane Magic - by Shaina Krevat (Paperback)

About the Book

Gertie and Bridget don't have magical adventures fighting off dark lords or saving the world. Sure, they attend Flories Boarding School, where the occasional magical anomaly takes place, but who doesn't deal with the occasional poltergeist or curse? Life is relatively calm for the sisters, but things might not be quite as mundane as they appear.

Book Synopsis

Nothing too strange ever happens to Gertie and Bridget Mallon.

The sisters don't have magical adventures fighting off dark lords or saving the world. Gertie spends her time learning the skill of enchantment, and Bridget has the ability to see things no one else can see with her left eye, which was bewitched in an accident many years ago.

Sure, they attend Flories Boarding School, where Gertie takes a potions class and Bridget plays basketball, and the occasional magical anomaly takes place, but who doesn't deal with the occasional poltergeist or curse?

Life is relatively calm for the Mallon sisters, but things might not be quite as mundane as they appear.

Review Quotes

I couldn't put this heartwarming book down until I read it from cover to cover...Each tale in this collection of short stories is a ray of sunshine to brighten your day. Gertie and Bridget are characters you instantly love and want to follow because of their kindness and creative problem solving.

A great collection of short stories about the adventures of Gertie and Bridget! My favorite story, "Gertie and Bridget have early mornings," addresses an old fairy tale trope in a fun way that I really enjoyed, and reminds me of the "fractured fairy tales" I loved reading as a kid.

Tales of Mundane Magic is a great book for fans of magical stories, like my daughter, while being something a little more relatable than children taking on the most powerful adults and saving the world. The content is cute stories of "mundane" magic with touches of mystery, mischief, and creepy encounters.

The world of Tales of Mundane Magic is delightful. Gertie and Bridget's sister relationship is wonderful and the friends they meet along the way are great too! I love the way magic is integrated into a modern, technological world.
