About the Book
From guinea pigs to magic. From friends to frayed family dynamics. From sparkling red shoes to quiet hugs with Dad … and everything in between. Grace Marshall is a character bubbling with life and personality but also carrying her share of insecurities around. She is eleven years old, curious and creative, and she dreams of becoming a magician called Grace the Amazing! Grace’s only friend is her art teacher, Pamela. When she discovers that Pamela is ill, the fragile certainties Grace relies on threaten to slip away. On her mission to find a cure for Pamela using miraculous magic, Grace asks the big questions about life, love, and friendship. A sensitive story filled with joy, heart, and special bonds that last a lifetime.
