Description
When Vonceil's brother returns home from World War I, he is no longer the same person she knew. His experiences have changed him into a serious and responsible man who doesn't have time for her anymore. A mysterious woman appears at their farm, confronting Elber about leaving her behind in France. She puts a curse on the family well, turning the town's water supply into saltwater.
Vonceil sets out to uncover the truth about the strange occurrences and the Lady in White herself - the foreboding Salt Witch. Along the way, she must confront danger, shapeshifting animals, and capricious relatives. But as she delves deeper into the world of witchcraft, Vonceil will learn valuable lessons about love and growing up.
With striking illustrations by Rebecca Mock, Salt Magic is a unique graphic fairy tale that combines elements of fantasy and adventure. This beautifully crafted story has been named to several notable lists, including the Little Maverick Graphic Novel Reading List and the ALSC Notable Children's Book list.
