How do you teach children about intolerance? How do you teach them about death? How do you introduce to them a culture with which they may not be familiar? You turn to books like Root Magic, the MG debut of author Eden Royce.
Set in 1963 in South Carolina, Root Magic follows Jezebel Turner and her twin brother, Jay. On their eleventh birthday, their uncle, Doc, says he will teach them rootwork, a family legacy, which opens up a world of magic and the supernatural.
