A Pinch of Magic - review by Joanna Ponder

A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison

Exciting read for 9-12 year olds who like a little high drama and suspense as well as adventure with a bit of magic.

There's nothing like overcoming the odds and Betty Fliss and Charlie have plenty of obstacles on their path to breaking the family curse .
