I loved this feminist fantasy that reads like Harry Potter for adults. Lucky is a young Metis woman who has not gotten much of a break. She lives in Toronto with a delightful but challenging grandmother; pines for a man who doesn't notice her; and hates her dead-end job. But, then, she finds a spoon—and everything changes, and she's on a quest to discover the coven of witches in Salem, the seventh spoon, and her true identity.
