Discovering Pig Magic by Julie Crabtree

Discovering Pig Magic follows the exploits of Mattie (or Miss M, or just M) and her friends Ariel and Nicki as they attempt to overcome the problems that plague their 13-year-old lives. After finding a book of spells, the three girls perform a ritual that will grant each the object of her desire. This requires that they each bury a special object. Ariel buries a tiny antique spoon; Nicki puts in a thumb-sized leather mother-and-child doll; and Miss M contributes a small ceramic pig with real gold inlays. When the magic starts to take effect, the girls' longed-for wishes carry unintended, and unwelcome, consequences. Breaking the spell before something really bad happens becomes crucial, but doing so may be too much even for these resourceful friends. Julie Crabtree's wonderfully funny novel captures the everyday lives of three quirky, engaging girls, and shows that some wishes may be better left unfulfilled.

“Discovering Pig Magic is about secrets and power and love and fear, and about defying other people's expectations to become the person you want to grow up to beBoth comic and serious, this promising debut appeals to lovers of magic as its engaging trio of characters learns to sort faith from fake.”
— Julie Schumacher, author of The Book of One Hundred Truths
