Copper Magic

Julia Mary Gibson

3.5/5 ( ratings)

Can an unearthed talisman found on the shores of Lake Michigan save 12-year-old Violet?s fractured family? Exploring themes of Native American culture, ecology, and conservation, this historical fiction novel comes brilliantly to life.
The year is 1906, and twelve-year-old Violet Blake unearths an ancient talisman?a copper hand?beside the stream where her mother used to harvest medicine. Violet?s touch warms the copper hand and it begins to reveal glimpses of another time. Violet is certain that the copper hand is magic?and if anyone is in need of its powers, it?s Violet. Her mother and adored baby brother are gone, perhaps never to return. Her heartbroken father can?t seem to sustain the failing farm on the outskirts of Pigeon Harbor, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Surely the magic of the copper hand can make things right for Violet and restore her fractured family. Violet makes a wish. But her ignorant carelessness unleashes formidable powers?and her attempts to control them jeopardizes not only herself, but the entire town of Pigeon Harbor.

In Copper Magic, land and waters are alive with memories, intentions, and impulses. Magic alters Violet and brings her gifts?but not always the kind she thinks she needs. First-time author Julia Mary Gibson brings Violet and her community to life in this impressive and assured debut.
