In this sparkling sequel you'll meet Franny with her skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, who could commune with birds; Jet as shy as she is beautiful, who knows what others are thinking, and Vincent so charismatic that he was built for trouble. Susanna needed to set some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles and certainly, absolutely, no books about magic…Why we recommend it: Halloween might be over, but you can still have a little magic in your holiday. This spellbinding story from Hoffman is about a family of witches determined to break a centuries-long curse.

If You’re Looking for a Heartwarming Read Try "Love & Other Consolation Prizes" by Jamie Ford
For 12-year-old Ernest Young, a charity student at a boarding school, the chance to go to the World’s Fair feels like a gift. But only once he’s there, amid the exotic exhibits, fireworks, and Ferris wheels, does he discover that he is the one who is actually the prize.

Why we recommend it: Set in historical Seattle, this sprawling novel is inspired by a true story focuses on love, devotion, and family bonds.
