A Snicker of Magic

A Snicker of Magic is the story of Felicity Juniper Pickle, a young word-collector who sees words hovering in the air above people, words they are thinking about or words they want. She travels from place to place with her mother and younger sister Frannie Jo aboard their van The Pickled Jalapeno.  They never find a friend or a home until they land in Midnight Gulch, Tennessee, previously known as a “magical place to call home.”  Midnight Gulch may no longer be magical but it is home to the mysterious Beedle, who always knows how to "fix what’s ailing people” and Dr. Zook’s Famous Ice Cream, which stays cold for 24 hours without being in a freezer and comes in such interesting flavors as Chocolate Chip Pork Rind and Chocolate Orange Switcheroo.  There are so many things to love about this book – you will never stop cheering for the wonderfully quirky characters and for a town that never really lost its magic, it was just hiding all along.  Splendiferous!
