Book Description:

THE MAGIC OF MELWICK ORCHARD tells the story of a 12-year-old girl named Isabel who finds herself becoming invisible to her family when her younger sister is diagnosed with cancer. But everything changes when Isa discovers a mysterious orchard that offers her hope, a little magic, and possibly a lot more trouble. 

Described as “warmhearted and compelling” by Kirkus Reviews, and “magical realism at its finest” by Imagination Soup, this middle grade novel is ideal for readers aged 8-14 years.
