The magic of Savvy meets the complexity of When You Reach Me in this
blithe magical puzzle. --The Wall Street Journal
Told in multiple viewpoints, A Tangle of Knots is a magnificent
puzzle. In a slightly magical world where everyone has a Talent,
eleven-year-old Cady is an orphan with a phenomenal Talent for cake
baking. But little does she know that fate has set her on a journey from
the moment she was born. And her destiny leads her to a mysterious
address that houses a lost luggage emporium, an old recipe, a family of
children searching for their own Talents, and a Talent Thief who will
alter her life forever. However, these encounters hold the key to Cady's
past and how she became an orphan. If she's lucky, fate may reunite her
with her long-lost parent.
Lisa Graff adds a pinch of magic to a sharply crafted plot to create a
novel that will have readers wondering about fate and the way we're all
connected.
