I listened to the audiobook version of this narrated by Debra Michaels and it absolutely won me over! The range of voices she pulled off were perfect for the age this book is aimed at.

The story itself is a simple, fun, well written adventure of a young girl's determination to get her granny back into magic. Granny's late husband used to be a stage magician and she was his assistant, but now with an opportunity to audition for the local magic society, she has a chance to take the spotlight herself.

I had no idea that it was based off of a true story until I finished reading! I'm definitely going to be looking into Jenny Mayers, the first black woman to be accepted into the magic cicle, a little more next.
