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!
