Description

Magic is strictly forbidden in the McGill house, but Delpha McGill has found the family book of spells and plans to use it to make things a little easier for herself and her mother; Katybird Hearn comes from a rival family of witches, but her magic has been slow to emerge and she thinks a spell book is just what she needs to help things along--and when a quarrel between the two unleashes a graveyard full of angry zombies the two girls must work together to save Howler's Hollow, and themselves.

This was pretty cute. Aside from the main storyline mentioned in the blurb was another about how magic was passed down through maternal lineage and what does that mean if you’re intersex.

Tyler wanted to be part of their little magical drama so bad. He was adorable.

First words
There was a sweet spot in Delpha McGill's week, between the hustle of school and the hard work during the weekend, that had no floors to sweep, no leaky faucets to tighten, no homework to riddle, and no lawn to mow.
