    A charming family comedy for readers of 8+, with a dash of magic, and the occasional moment of mayhem! These are the third memoirs Holly Hopkinson, aged ten – except without any of the rubbish adults usually put in, thank you very much. 
Welcome to volume III of my memoirs – with me, Holly Hopkinson, still in the middle of flipping nowhere, and still on the brink of MULTIPLE CATASTROPHES, like my parents announcing that we might be moving STATESIDE. Good thing my sister is still into organising protests, thank you very much. 
PLUS Mum is about to lose what little money we have left on a vegetable shop, there's been a biscuit-fight fiasco in the village and a family secret I uncovered means my suitcase is packed, my goodbyes are prepared – life is cruel at ten. 
But fear not because with the help of my Magic Pocket Watch I might get an ACTUAL FACTUAL ROCK STAR to play with my brother’s band! Oh yes. The middle of nowhere, AKA Lower Goring, could be about to hit the news headlines again . . . 
This humorous children's fiction is a top pick for young readers, filled with the best stories that will keep them hooked. Holly Hopkinson's adventures, filled with fantasy and juvenile mischief, are sure to make headlines in the world of kids literature. 
For fans of Jen Carney (The Day My School Got Famous), Katie Kirby (The Catastrophic Friendship Fails of Lottie Brooks), Honor And Perdita Cargill (Diary of an Accidental Witch), Beth Garrod (The Unfortunate Wishes of Nelly Young), and Sarah Bowie (Nina Peanut and the Mystery of the Ghost Shoe).

    In the town of Gladder Hill, there’s no such word as “ugly.” Or “beautiful.” 
 
Zailey has never seen her own face. She’s never seen her reflection, a photo of herself, or even a drawing. In the special community of Gladder Hill, cameras and mirrors are forbidden: it’s why everyone’s happier here. Nobody talks about anyone else’s appearance. You’re not supposed to think  
about what other people look like, or what you look like.  
 
But Zailey does.  
 
She knows her superficial thoughts are wrong, and her sketchbook, filled with secret portraits of her classmates and neighbors, could get her in trouble. Yet she can’t help but think those thoughts, and be curious about the outside world where she once lived, years ago. Most of all, she wonders  
what it’s like to see herself—her own face.  
 
When Zailey suddenly finds herself beyond the gates of her town, she has a chance to see if what she’s been taught about the outside world is true and search for the mother she barely remembers. Only then will she find out the real story about Gladder Hill. But is she prepared for the truth?

    Roots are our ancestor’s Magick. Summer for Juniper has finally arrived, which means rootwork with Grandma can finally begin! It’s time to collect healing herbs into protective mojo bags; to fill mason jars with all the love, history, dirt, and magick one can fit. It’s time to talk to the tranquil willow trees and feel the soft earth between one’s toes; to hear Grandma share their ancestors’ stories, with her dog Shiloh underfoot. 
From National Book Award finalist Amber McBride comes a loving story about rootwork, a powerful African spiritual practice, and the significance of familial connections and traditions, reminding us how sacred it is to reconnect with the people we love, the earth, one’s heritage, and the healing power that provides.
