Root Magic by Eden Royce

5.0

5/5

“Things will always change. People grow up, move away, or even pass on, but I now knew it didn’t mean they’d left me alone.”

I loved Root Magic! Set in the 1960s And so full of history and i am so glad i gained knowledge of the Gullah culture.

It was unlike any book I’ve read before, i love spooks it gave me. I fell so in love with the whole turner family and cared about everything they went through. Jez and Jay are such strong and powerful 11 year olds with everything they face in this book. I am saddened to see the way the family was treated by officer collins but i do think justice was well served. This may have been geared towards a younger audience but i loved every bit of it anyway.
