OVERALL RATING 9/10
Meaningful stories, diverse characters, engaging plot
I knew I'd like this book, but I didn't expect to like it THIS much! Like Magic tells the story of three ten year-old girls, overcoming a variety of challenges in their personal lives. Not only are the characters diverse in terms of ethnicity and personality, but their lifestyles, challenges, and family dynamics span a huge range as well. This book could feel relatable to anyone. Though the story is quite predictable, that shouldn't be an issue for most young readers, and I still thoroughly enjoyed the read!
