Les Mots Bleus De Félicie (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Felicity and her family are back in Midnight Gulch, a town that used to be magic. As Felicity discovers, that magic is not completely gone. From the Blackberry Sunrise ice cream that brings back memories, to the mysterious exploits of the Beedle, there are little snickers of magic all around her. Her ability to see words rising off of things doesn't seem so spectacular, but who's to say what the difference is between a talent, a gift, and magic? The real magic would be for them to stick around. Felicity's mother has always been a wanderer, but this time Felicity is really starting to put down some roots. Maybe the magic in this place will be just enough to wrap them all up tight and make them feel at home.Enjoyable read. This is one I want to share with my kids. What a wonderful, heartwarming story filled with quirky characters, a riddle, and WORDS!"Midnight Gulch used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity knows all about things like that; her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart. But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck's about to change. A "word collector," Felicity sees words everywhere---shining above strangers, tucked into church eves, and tangled up her dog's floppy ears---but Midnight Gulch is the first place she's ever seen the word "home." And then there's Jonah, a mysterious, spiky-haired do-gooder who shimmers with words Felicity's never seen before, words that make Felicity's heart beat a little faster. Felicity wants to stay in Midnight Gulch more than anything, but first, she'll need to figure out how to bring back the magic, breaking the spell that's been cast over the town . . . and her mother's broken heart."
