Will Do Magic for Small Change

De: Andrea Hairston

Narrado por: Tamika Katon-Donegal, Andre Santana

A tale of alien science and earthbound magic and the secrets families keep from each other.

“[A] beautifully multifaceted story... Highly recommended.”—The New York Times

Cinnamon Jones dreams of stepping on stage and acting her heart out like her famous grandparents, Redwood and Wildfire. But she’s always been theatrically challenged. That won’t necessarily stop her! But her family life is a tangle of mysteries and secrets, and nobody is telling her the whole truth.

Before her brother died, he gave Cinnamon The Chronicles of the Great Wanderer—a tale of a Dahomean warrior woman and an alien from another dimension who perform at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. They are a story of magic or alien science, but the connection to Cinnamon's past is unmistakable.

When an act of violence wounds her family, Cinnamon and her theatre squad determine to solve the mysteries and bring her worlds crashing together.

Wildly Imaginative & Inspiring

I loved this story and it's meant working parts. I mean, you gotta keep up cause there's a lot happening. But it's rich and wild and intriguing and even inspiring. I can't imagine what other beautiful things the author might think up! I'd love to meet the main character as an adult.

I wanted to love it but I couldn't

I wanted to love this book so bad but I could not.. I felt that it was all over the place. Maybe it has a different flow wind slow when reading the book but on audio it was not. I was so confused I didn't know no what year or century I was in during certain chapters of the book
