Bayou Magic by Jewell Parker Rhodes

3.0

This was a very quick read for me. Kind of a sad book. I think that it touched on some pretty heavy topics. I loved the firefly imagery and the swamp imagery a lot and Maddy was an adorable narrator. I'm not exactly sure what age group I would recommend this for as some topics covered were alcohol abuse and animal death. That theme could be sensitive for younger readers. However these topics are tackled in a way that would make it easier for a younger reader to grasp.
