Root Magic by Eden Royce

4.0

Listened via Hoopla. A wonderful Tale about the Gullah people on the coast of the Carolinas, places in the 60s (JFK’s assassination is mentioned as a new item in the story). Don’t know how important it is to include a “good” white cop in the story, but the book is for kids. But the story of root magic and respecting those folk traditions is a good thing to introduce kids to. Jezebel is a great character and I think a lot of kids will be shot to relate to her and her worries.
