Then look no
more! Grab a copy of It Must Be
Magic today! So what makes something funny? It can be
slapstick, it can be circumstance, it can be characters. What I find funny are
the characters we meet on our reading journey. And I’ve populated the little
town of Hideaway Creek with people who make me laugh. Hideaway Creek is in the
foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, close enough to get to the ocean and the
Boardwalk in twenty minutes. There’s the redwood park and the train park and
Hideaway Creek was once the home of a gangster hideaway where all the movie
stars of the 1920’s came up from Hollywood to live on the wild side for a
little while. (Of course this is the neck of the woods where I live!) And when
you visit Hideaway Creek, drop by The Coffee Stain for a marvelous mocha by
Manny. Or get your hair cut in the Mane Man. Or buy a gorgeous rose from
Flowers by Nature where Lili Goodweather works.
Everyone believes in carpe diem... don’t they?
For
flower shop clerk Lili Goodweather, that’s what life is all about--savoring the
precious moments and all the beauty the world has to offer. So it breaks her
heart when 12-year-old Erika Rutland can no longer see the magic in everyday
moments.
No, not everyone believes in
carpe diem… or telepathic communication with animals.
A
firm believer in all things practical, widower Tanner Rutland doesn’t want his
daughter’s mind filled with Lili’s fanciful tales—especially her claims that
she can communicate with cats. And worse, that his daughter’s cat Fluffy has
witnessed a murder. When Lili asks him to help search for the dead body that
just absolutely has to be out in the redwoods—she claims—he’s forced to
confront whether Lili is just plain crazy or her gift with animals is real.
But
after that first delicious kiss, he starts to think he’s the one who’s gone
completely crazy. Because suddenly there’s something about Lili that Tanner
just can’t resist.
Can
this single-minded career man give up everything he believes for a little touch
of magic?
