A Snicker of Magic by Natalie Lloyd

4.0

My daughter and I weren't sure we'd like this book at first. It starts off a bit slow and the heavy southern-twang in the narration made us pause. The book never really picks up speed but we ended up getting sucked into the whimsical narrative, and loved the characters (especially Boone - such a great uncle!). I loved Cleo too except the constant mentions of her smoking all the time. The entire town and all the characters were cute, and the idea of snickers of magic, and Felicity collecting words was a unique one. I kept picturing a tv show like Lizzie Mcguire only, instead of a cartoon friend, cartoon words dripping from the curtains or blowing in the breeze. The story had a layer of depth to it that speaks to the heart.
