Story4.5 out of 5 stars 45
Gypsy Beaumont has always been a whirly-twirly free spirit, so as her thirteenth birthday approaches, she hopes to get a magical ability that will let her fly, or dance up to the stars. Instead, she wakes up on her birthday with blurry vision...and starts seeing flashes of the future and past. But when Momma and Poppa announce that her very un-magical, downright mean Grandma Pat has Alzheimer's and is going to move in with them, Gypsy's savvy - along with her family's - suddenly becomes its opposite.

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks - and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her 11th birthday. But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

Willow Chance is a 12-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasn’t kept her from leading a quietly happy life...until now. Suddenly Willow’s world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read.

A Fun Family Listen for Kids and Parents too
Our family listens to lots of audio books. The writing was exceptional and expressive. The story was funny and Interesting. The characters had depth that resonated with kids and adults. Parent and 4 boys, ages 5-13, agree this is a gem to be enjoyed, far above many of the more popular Kid/YA books. We look forward to the other 2 in the series.

Meaningful story with likeable characters
This book is about a family with some special abilities, and how they get through various life situations while learning to manage their talents. The characters are very likeable and the storyline has many meaningful lessons throughout. I did not particularly enjoy the voices that the reader made for some of the characters, but otherwise, she did a wonderful job.
