Shamanka by Jeanne Willis
Join Sam on her thrilling quest to discover the meaning of magic – and uncover the secrets behind famous magic tricks, illusions and other mysterious skills along the way. What is magic? What is illusion? What is real? Step into the extraordinary world of Sam Khaan, who has just discovered a witch doctor's notebook in her attic. Convinced that it belongs to her long-lost father – the son of a witch doctor – she sets out on a journey to discover the answers to these questions. In her encounters with diviners and healers, conjurers and mystics, Sam learns the truth about magic the hard way. Here is your chance to take a far easier route.
"An absolutely enthralling read; the story draws a reader in with a combination of participation and embroiling narrative" (Write Away!)"
