A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison (book cover)

An assured fairy tale fantasy on the developmental cusp where MG turns to YA. The setting is grim, the story a gripping, character-driven adventure that twists genre to sidestep contrivance. Betty and her sisters have real personality, especially in Diss’s audiobook reading.
