Howard, Amalie2025
Books, Manuscripts
A girl stays with her grandmother in Trinidad for the summer and discovers that she comes from a long line of witches. Thirteen-year-old Darika Lovelace is in big trouble. The kind of trouble that means she's being sent off to her grandmother in the Caribbean. She should be grateful, but instead she's angry. Angry at her dad and step-mom for sending her away for an entire summer. Angry at her mom who went away and never came back. But the island is definitely not what she remembers! The minute she steps off the plane, strange things start happening, including being stalked by a baby iguana. When she meets a ragtag group of children on her Granny's estate, she knows they are not what they seem, but after they promise to take her to her long-lost mom, she leaps at the chance. Thrust into an incredible adventure involving strange monsters, a supernatural silk cotton tree, and a mysterious maze, soon the truth about her unique magical roots comes to light. She's the island's only hope, but unless she learns to believe in magic, all will be lost.
