    One Jar of Magic
    The Children’s Book Review

    From the critically acclaimed author of Eventown comes a hopeful and empowering tale set in an enchanting world of magic and mysterious family secrets—perfect for fans of Anne Ursu, Rebecca Stead, and Wendy Mass.

    One Jar of Magic by Corey Ann Haydu

    One Jar of Magic by Corey Ann Haydu

    One Jar of Magic

    Written by Corey Ann Haydu

    Ages 8-12 | 352 Pages

    Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books | ISBN: 9780062689856

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Magic is like a dream. Delightful. Terrifying. Unreal.

    Rose Alice Anders is Little Luck. Lucky to be born into the Anders family. Lucky to be just as special and magical as the most revered man in town—her father. The whole town has been waiting for Rose to turn twelve, when she can join them in their annual capturing of magic on New Year’s Day and become the person she was born to be.

    But when that special day finally comes, Rose barely captures one tiny jar of magic. Now Rose’s dad won’t talk to her anymore and her friendships have gotten all twisted and wrong. So when Rose hears whispers that there are people who aren’t meant for magic at all, she begins to wonder if that’s who she belongs with.

    Maybe if she’s away from all the magic, away from her dad telling her who she’s meant to be, who she has to be, Rose can begin to piece together what’s truly real in a world full of magic.
