One Jar of Magic


This book was absolutely gorgeous.  I did not want it to end.  Rose is a 12-year-old girl whose father is the most magical man in their town.  He has built her up her entire life telling her she is like him and she will be something special too, once she turns 12 and can capture her first magic.  But when that day comes, and Rose only gets one jar, everything changes....her relationship with her father, a volatile man and her relationship with her friends.  It makes you asks deeper questions.  What is a "perfect" life?  Who do you want to be?  Are you enough?  It is for fifth graders and up, given some mature domestic abuse references.  (FIC HAY)
