Family magic saves the day for best-friend-cousins Del and Alma in the
third Hand-Me-Down Magic book. With adorable illustrations and short,
easy-to-read chapters, this series is perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean and
Dory Fantasmagory.
Alma knew it the first time she saw it: The patchwork purse in the
window of the Curious Cousins Secondhand Shoppe was magical. Special.
Perfect. But when her friend Cassie spots the purse and buys it, what
could Alma do but agree that the purse really did look just right on
Cassie?
Del decides it's up to her to bring some homespun magic back into Alma's
life, and she's got just the plan to do it. After all, she is the EXPERT
on magic!
All she needs is some glitter and lots and lots of glue . . . because
she knows magic can always come from the most unexpected places, but
most importantly, that best-friend-cousins never let each other down.
Corey Ann Haydu's writing is filled with tender moments, wholesome
humor, and magical detail--reminiscent of literary icons like Beverly
Clearly, Marla Frazee, and Katherine Applegate. This chapter book series
is pitch perfect for kids reading at this young level. And Luisa Uribe's
stunning black-and-white illustrations capture the warmth and unique
personality of each character.
