Description

Mattie, Ariel, and Nicki are fast friends facing the uncertainty of being thirteen. Matties kitschy pig collection and agoraphobic mother might completely derail her social life. Ariels attempts to follow in Rachael Rays culinary footsteps have landed her in hot water. And Nicki is carrying a secret that threatens to cut her off from her best friends.

After finding a book of spells, the three girls perform a ritual that will grant each the object of her desire. This requires that they each bury something special: for Ariel, a tiny antique spoon; for Nicki, a thumb-sized leather mother-and-child doll; and for Mattie, a small ceramic pig with real gold inlays. When the magic starts to take effect, the girls longed-for wishes carry unintended, and unwelcome, consequences. Several disasters later, the friends fear that their ritual is working against them. Can they break the spell before their problems spiral out of control

Wonderfully funny and absorbing,Discovering Pig Magiccaptures the everyday lives of three quirky, engaging girls, and shows that some wishes may be better left unfulfilled.
