A young girl with ambitions to be a writer tries to adjust to her widowed mother's remarriage.

Julia's Magic

by Eleanor Cameron

Published 25 May 1989
A broken perfume bottle and the threat of losing their home cause a crisis in the Redfern family that shakes Julia's belief in magic.

Julia's fifteenth year is filled with jealousy, forgiveness, first love, and artistic satisfaction, all against a background of loving support from her adored uncle, adopted grandmother, and other family members.

A series of crises lead eleven-year-old Julia to see her family in a different light and help her reaffirm her ambition to be a writer.

Family loss and other unexpected, even strange occurrences cannot dampen for long the spirits of the irrepressible Julia. Sequel to "Julia's Magic."
