Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Gracie Reed never believed in magic-until she found the book.
After her beloved grandmother passes away, Gracie stumbles upon an old spellbook hidden in the attic: The Life List of Spells. Each spell inside isn't just a charm-it's a lesson, a moment, a step on a journey of self-discovery.
As Gracie casts her first spell, she unexpectedly forges a new friendship, hears the unspoken thoughts of her grieving mother, and steps into a hidden world of shadowed greenhouses and vanishing doors. Each chapter reveals more of her family's mysterious past and the quiet magic threaded through her everyday life.
But not all spells go as planned. Some open doors to pain, to truth, and to the courage it takes to grow up. As Gracie faces fear, loss, and the pull of the unknown, she learns the most powerful magic of all may not come from a book-but from within.
The Life List of Spells is a heartfelt, magical coming-of-age story about grief, friendship, and the beauty of writing your own future-perfect for fans of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, A Wrinkle in Time, and When You Trap a Tiger.
