About the Book
"An exciting new voice among the world's storytellers." -- Cornelia Funke
A heartfelt, adventure-filled, and charming novel about a peculiar girl who embarks on a journey to find her father, the wizard.
Penelope has always been different from other children. Her hair has been gray since she was born. It rains every year on her birthday. And she knows what her mother is going to say before the words even come out of her mouth. But one day, Penelope wakes up with sparkling red hair and her mother confesses the truth: Her father is not only still alive, he's a wizard! Penelope has inherited his powers, and must embark on a journey to find him.
My Take on the Book
This is a bit mystical of a story that mixes coming of age with magic and fantasy and it was a ton of fun to read. I actually read this with my daughter and we loved reading through it to see what would happen next. We loved the infusion of magic in the story and the characters were very real and were well developed. As you read the book you come to care for the characters and by the end you want more!
