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.
