E-grāmata: Rival Magic

"Full of fierce girls, fabulously fun magic, humor, and so much heart. I loved it!"Stephanie Burgis, author of The Dragon with a Chocolate Heart and Kat, Incorrigible  "Antonia's lively first-person narration lends immediacy and suspense to this compelling, complex adventure filled with capable, complex, brown-skinned women. Clever, fast-paced fantasy punctuated with surprising twists and plenty of girl power." -- Kirkus Reviews "Fagan establishes a warm, complicated world where magic is an accepted part of lifethere are sorcerers, merfolk, and sea serpentsthough wielded by only a few. As the girls relationship shifts from wary rivals to begrudging allies and then to something much deeper, the intriguing story throws in enough twists to keep readers on their toes. A gorgeous fairy tale that touches on the benefits of cooperation and the beauty of discovering ones own particular brand of magic." -- Booklist "A solid core of complexity underlies plentiful magical antics. . . . This is solidly in the wheelhouse of Fagan, and lovably imperfect heroines, dancing turnips, a sea monster or two, and a political whodunnit keep the pages turning until the satisfying conclusion." -- BCCB "A fast-paced and pleasant magical read that proves that the power of friendship can help overcome many challenges. A strong choice for middle grade readers who enjoy adventure, fantasy, and enemies-to-friends tales." -- School Library Journal "The fantastical elements are creative and engaging with just a hint of creepiness that readers will enjoy. As a standalone fantasy, this one will grab readers right away with the magical world-building and mythology. Recommended."   -- School Library Connection
