One Jar of Magic by Corey Ann Haydu
4.0
To start, the dedication is already powerful.
To everyone who thought they had to be someone better, stronger, faster, more. To everyone who helped them understand they were enough, just as they were.
This is a must-read for everybody especially children who have grown up or growing up with high expectations from someone they love. This is for someone who is terrified of disappointing someone who matters to them and this is for someone who thinks theyre losing themselves and wants to be found.
Set in a sort of magical town, Rose Alice Anders is a 12 y/o girl who everyone believes will be the most magical person then turns out she's not. Rose' journey in finding herself includes the quiet kind of domestic abuse we often couldn't see superficially but left us a sort of trauma in our personality and self esteem when people expects us to be better that what we already are and how people could love her differently. Her biggest journey i think is when her world changed not because she changed but when her perception of the world or magic changed.
