Description
2014 National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist, Pre-teen Fiction.
"They
are stronger. They are coming. They will arrive!"
Life would be so much better for twelve-year-old Natalie if she and her mother
weren’t different: other kids wouldn’t pick on her, she wouldn’t have to get
into fights, she might even have friends.
But Natalie has abilities that set her apart, and despite her very best efforts
to have a normal life, her developing “gift” has a way of upending them all.
Then one day a big top circus rolls into town bringing with it Beausoleil the
Magician, his daughter Louisa, and his mysterious doll. Strange things are
afoot with Beausoleil’s arrival, and in his wake, an eerie storm is
approaching. Soon Natalie discovers there is more to her world and the people
around her than she knew, and that being different is just the tip of the
iceberg...
The Magician’s Doll sparks readers’ imaginations with a tale of magical
discoveries, profound friendships, a fight against evil, and the growth that
comes with facing your fears and accepting who you are.

“The
story of exceptional and gifted beings secretly living among us is timeless;
this exhilarating book is an impressive treatment of that classic
storyline...an outstanding pleasure..." ~
San Francisco Book Review
"The Magician’s Doll is a gripping thriller featuring a young heroine who
possesses great magical power, a fabulous and quirky collection of secondary
characters, a mystery that slowly draws in the reader, and a deliciously dark
mood that will keep young readers and adults alike turning the pages. I highly
recommend this book to older children who enjoy feeling a bit “spooked” and who
love stories filled with magic, suspense, and a great mystery. Ages 10+" ~ Mother Daughter Book Reviews
“This is perfect for kids of the middle grade age. It forces them to look
at the way they treat each other and their differences. It makes them look at
what true friendship is and what they would do in certain circumstances. I am
sure this book was written to be a wonderful story, yet I find it is a great
example of teaching kids something without them realizing they are learning.” ~ The Musings of a Book Addict
“I am a eighth grader, and was told to read this book by a friend. I am a
huge fan of fantasy and magic, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found it
well thought through with colorful characters from a variety of backgrounds.
The concepts and ideas are fresh and interesting...I would DEFINITELY recommend
this book to all my friends, and will do so as soon as possible.” ~ 5 Star Review, Eugenia, Amazon
