The Sweetest Spell

Emmeline Thistle, a dirt-scratcher's daughter, has escaped death twice-first, on the night she was born, and second, on the day her entire village was swept away by flood. Left with nothing and no one, Emmeline discovers her rare and mysterious ability-she can churn milk into chocolate, a delicacy more precious than gold.*Suddenly, the most unwanted girl in Anglund finds herself desired by all. But Emmeline only wants one-Owen Oak, a dairyman's son, whose slow smiles and lingering glances once tempted her to believe she might someday be loved for herself. But others will stop at nothing to use her gift for their own gains-no matter what the cost to Emmeline. Magic and romance entwine in this fantastical world where true love and chocolate conquer all.*ReviewPraise for Mad Love "This book has real charm with great depth." - VOYA "A funny, light, bittersweet novel that is fresh and unique."-Confessions of a Bookaholic Praise for Saving Juliet *"Selfors injects an angst-ridden 17-year-old Manhattan actress into Shakespeare's star-crossed romance, yielding hilarious and often very clever results."-Publishers Weekly, starred review "Absorbing, exciting and useful for teachers, too." -Kirkus Reviews "The book will appeal to fans of historical fiction, time travel, adventure, and love stories."- VOYA Praise for The Sweetest Spell : An exhilarating, romantic, and frequently funny story of self-discovery Publishers Weekly, starred review About the AuthorSUZANNE SELFORS is the author of Mad Love, Coffeehouse Angel and Saving Juliet as well as several middle-grade novels including, Smells Like Dog.
