Like Magic by Elaine Vickers

3.0

A really sweet story, well woven together. I don't think it will stand out in my memory amidst the many other middle grade novels I'm reading this summer, but it was a worthwhile story, and I'd definitely recommend it to lonely elementary/JH students, especially girls. I really appreciated that the story didn't shy away from issues like severe anxiety, maternal abandonment, and the upheaval an unexpected sibling can create, but also never wallowed in despair or cruelty. A solid read.
