📚 Conjure Island by Eden Royce

From the award-winning author of Root Magic comes a spellbinding middle grade fantasy about family, identity, and Southern conjure traditions.

When Delphinia Baker is sent to spend the summer with a great-grandmother she’s never met on a small island off the South Carolina coast, she expects awkward family time—not a school for conjure magic. But when Del discovers the magic is real, she finds herself surrounded by witches, ghosts, mysterious creatures, and long-hidden family secrets.

As Del searches for her place in this magical world, a dark presence on the island begins to emerge—and it may be connected to her family’s past.

Black History Month is still in full swing and Root Magic would be a perfect choice if you're thinking about what to read next and you're looking for magic and fun. This is also the monthly pick for #WeLoveMGLit book club run by @naturemamareads and @andreabeatrizarango. Thanks to @theshelfstuff for the gifted copy. QOTD: What BIPOC magical or ghost story have you enjoyed recently? Highlights & synopsis below: 🌱An ownvoices middle grade debut from an author we’re all really excited about 🌱Magic system inspired by rootwork, a still-practiced form of African American folk magic based on West African spiritual traditions 🌱The story works in folklore from and traditions of the Geechee people and the Gullah language, both of which are wholly underrepresented in children’s literature 🌱Real-world issues in 1960s South Carolina 🌱Come for the spookytimes, stay for the tight sibling relationship 🌱🪄SYNOPSIS:🌱🪄 It’s 1963, and things are changing for Jezebel Turner. Her beloved grandmother has just passed away. The local police deputy won’t stop harassing her family. With school integration arriving in South Carolina, Jez and her twin brother, Jay, are about to begin the school year with a bunch of new kids. But the biggest change comes when Jez and Jay turn eleven—and their uncle, Doc, tells them he’s going train them in rootwork. Jez and Jay have always been fascinated by the African American folk magic that has been the legacy of her family for generations—especially the curious potions and powders Doc and Gran would make for the people on their island. But Jez soon finds out that her family’s true power goes far beyond small charms and elixirs...and not a moment too soon. Because when evil both natural and supernatural comes to show itself in town, it’s going to take every bit of the magic she has inside her to see her through. #RootMagic #TheShelfStuff #feature #EdenRoyce #HarperCollins #books #welovemglit #MiddleGradebooks #bookclubpicks #bookstagram #bookmarks #inspirethetribe #Africa #bookphotos #BIPOCBookstagram #ownvoices #weneeddiversebooks #hardcovers #bookworm #bookish #Ilovebooks #waldenpondpress #siblings #folklore #ghoststories (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLh_wbKAto6/?igshid=mh7649lk68cb
