Pearl Twist's Magical Life - Paperback

by Lisa Hurwitz (Illustrator), Kim Soles (Author)

The ordinary turns extraordinary in this middle-grade fantasy adventure about imagination, courage, and the power of belief. On a March full crow moon in Brooklyn, ten-year-old Pearl Twist sets out on a magical adventure with her loyal companion, Lion-from the Prospect Park Carousel. As Pearl journeys beyond the familiar, she meets unforgettable characters including feisty-feathered Crow, mind-reader Rosie, a hungry Inchworm, and eleven-year-old John, each drawn together by curiosity, friendship, and fate.

When Crow discovers a hidden passageway, the group enters the City of Zinnia, a spellbinding fantasy world created by thought, where imagination shapes reality and anything seems possible. But danger follows them. The despicable carousel keeper, Cornelius Cage, and his sinister red feathers threaten the city and everyone within it.
As Pearl and her friends face love, loss, and unexpected challenges, they must learn to trust their inner strength and the bonds they share. Pearl Twist's Magical Life is a richly imaginative middle-grade novel for readers ages 9-12, and for adults who love magical realism, whimsical fantasy, and heartfelt coming-of-age stories.
Perfect for fans of imaginative children's fantasy novels, portal fantasies, and timeless stories where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
