In this thrilling sequel to middle-grade fantasy adventure BIG MAGIC, a young magician will do whatever it takes to save magic but at what cost
Eleven-year-old Tulsi comes from a long line of women magicians, and loves doing Big Magic. Every night in her familys circus show, she turns twigs into trees,flies like a bird, and even disappears into thin air. But one night, in the middle of a show, she loses her powers with terrifying results.
Tulsis powers soon come back, but she cant risk losing them again and her search for what went wrong soon takes her all the way into a parallel universe, where she discovers that magic everywhere is in danger. The natural world is falling out of balance, and a band of rogue magicians are stripping magic from women. They'reled by a powerful magician who knows Tulsi very well and who has a dark plan for her magic, too.
Tulsis convinced shes the only one who can stop the rogues, and save magic across the universes. But what if that means giving up her own power
A compelling read full of twists and turns from beloved author Sarah Armstrong, MAGIC AWRY is perfect for readers aged 9+.
PRAISE FOR BIG MAGIC
My heart was in my mouth as I followed Tulsis search for her mother. A wonderful adventure with the sort of magic I could really believe in.
Lian Tanner, author of The Keepers trilogy
This book had me on page one.LikeHarry Potter,it feels like theres a treat in every paragraph. Kids will devour it and then read it again. [It's] an earthy, life-shaking tale of real magic and the responsibilities that come with power.
Tristan Bancks, author of Two Wolves
If I didntbelieve in magic before reading this, I certainly do now. Sarah takes you through parallel universes, across continents and into magical circus tents sodeftly, with pure heart.
