MONDAY TRAVELS: THE RULES OF MAGIC by Alice Hoffman

Happy Monday friends!

This Monday we will share with you the best news I've heard all weekend! So sit back, scroll down and let's look into a new book called:

THE RULES OF MAGIC

American writer Alice Hoffman:

Alice Hoffman (born March 16, 1952) is an American novelist and young-adult and children's writer, best known for her 1995 novel Practical Magic, which was adapted for a 1998 film of the same name. Many of her works fall into the genre of magic realism and contain elements of magic, irony, and non-standard romances and relationships. She was the recipient of a New Jersey Notable Book Award. She won a Hammett Prize for Turtle Moon.

 

Summary:

Find your magic

For the Owens family, love is a curse that began in 1620, when Maria Owens was charged with witchery for loving the wrong man.

Hundreds of years later, in New York City at the cusp of the sixties, when the whole world is about to change, Susanna Owens knows that her three children are dangerously unique. Difficult Franny, with skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, shy and beautiful Jet, who can read other people’s thoughts, and charismatic Vincent, who began looking for trouble on the day he could walk.

From the start Susanna sets down rules for her children: No walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles, no books about magic. And most importantly, never, ever, fall in love. But when her children visit their Aunt Isabelle, in the small Massachusetts town where the Owens family has been blamed for everything that has ever gone wrong, they uncover family secrets and begin to understand the truth of who they are. Back in New York City each begins a risky journey as they try to escape the family curse.

The Owens children cannot escape love even if they try, just as they cannot escape the pains of the human heart. The two beautiful sisters will grow up to be the revered, and sometimes feared, aunts in Practical Magic, while Vincent, their beloved brother, will leave an unexpected legacy.

Thoughts:

Words cannot describe the inner screaming that is happening right now! 

You guys, Practical Magic is like...if I had a physical copy of this book, I would literally sleep with it during Autumn, because this book is one of the books that always remind me of Fall!

 

And now we will get a prequel!!!! 

 

We will get to meet the aunts when they were young, to probably meet Sally and Gillian's parents or at least know better about them! I am just so happy and excited I can hardly contain myself! 

 

Are you happy? Will you be reading this book?  Let me know!

See you next Monday!

Happy October!
