Ursula Vernon / T Kingfisher has a new middle grade #book out!  “Illuminations” is a fast and delightful read reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones.  It’s about a 10yo in a family of magical painters who finds a box holding a dangerous secret.  Chaos ensues.  Spunky heroine, talking crow, great magical system, and chaotic but supportive multi-generational family.  Read it yourself and then get it for the kids in your life.
