Hence she is hidden away from public view, shunned by her family while her twin brother shines on as the new young shah of Atashar.
Within it is trapped shahzadeh Soraya, a princess cursed since birth of a touch so poisonous, one touch is all it takes to drain the life out of a mere beetle. Incorporating old and middle Persian words, we’re whisked into the world of the luxurious Golvahar. Bashardoust has introduced YA fantasy readers to Persian and Zoroastrian myths such as the fiery Simorgh, sly minded yatu or sorcerers, and bloodthirsty and violent divs or demons. Featuring a bisexual protagonist whose poisonous touches can kill, Ms. Melissa Bashardoust, author of GIRLS MADE OF SNOW AND GLASS, has rectified that lacking, gifting us with a book unlike any other recent releases. " Just a Pinch of Magic provides more than a pinch of fun.Persian folklores and fairy tales are a rare feat in young adult fantasy. Together they search for the solution to fixing the magic gone awry in their beloved town-and just maybe get their dads to go out on a date. When Wini and Kal cross paths-both hoping for the chance to finally make a friend without worrying about their family histories following them-the girls bond over being fellow outcasts.
And it's not just the whispers of the magical books in their shop. He joins them in opening their bookstore in the new town, but Kal can't help but wonder if he has anything to do with the whispers around her new home about wicked magic. But just as they're about to move to a new town for a fresh start, Kal's grandfather-who mysteriously vanished years ago-has suddenly reentered their lives with a desire to make amends.
They've weathered everything together, including Kal's mental health struggles. It's just been Kal and her dad for as long as she can remember. Now the whole town is in danger, and the Enchantment Agency is sniffing around for whoever cast the wayward spell. And Wini soon discovers that it didn't just not work, it backfired. Desperate to save her family's business, Wini takes a risk by casting a (sort of illegal) spell that would allow them to gather their own supply of their most needed magical ingredient: Love. Wini's family of enchanters runs a little bakery, but with the prices of magical ingredients skyrocketing, they're going under. Just a Pinch of Magic, Alechia Dow's middle-grade debut, is as warm and sweet as a cinnamon bun, bursting with magic and sure to please the pickiest readers.
