Discovering Pig Magic follows the exploits of
Mattie (or Miss M, or just M) and her friends Ariel and
Nicki as they attempt to overcome the problems that plague
their 13-year-old lives. After finding a book of spells,
the three girls perform a ritual that will grant each the
object of her desire. This requires that they each bury a
special object. Ariel buries a tiny antique spoon; Nicki
puts in a thumb-sized leather mother-and-child doll; and
Miss M contributes a small ceramic pig with real gold
inlays. When the magic starts to take effect, the girls'
longed-for wishes carry unintended, and unwelcome,
consequences. Breaking the spell before something really
bad happens becomes crucial, but doing so may be too much
even for these resourceful friends. Julie Crabtree's
wonderfully funny novel captures the everyday lives of
three quirky, engaging girls, and shows that some wishes
may be better left unfulfilled.
