Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Note: I received an ARC from the publisher. I feel like the cover and the title of this story was kind of misleading or like I usually do -- I expected something completely different. The "magic" in Some Kind of Magic comes from an old hat from a missing uncle. Cody, who's almost seven and shares a birthday with his uncle, gets his brother and his brother's friends along on an adventure. Their adventure starts with following where Cody's new hat leads them -- to an abandoned home. It ends up revealing a truth from the past and guiding the friends towards a summer that will change their lives forever. Source Cody is the sweet, rule following, hat wearing one in the group. Ben is his older brother who is tired of his little brother hanging around and the one everyone follows. His girlfriend Cass is caring and isn't afraid of keeping up with the boys. Neither is her best friend, Jemmie, who is always up for a challenge and talented at sports. Justin, the final member of the group, is a talented pianist whose skills on the piano hasn't given him the courage to tell Jemmie how she feels. Source The different POV's were a bit unorganized. I had trouble keeping track of them. That was the downside of the story. The upside is that after getting used to where the story was taking me, I got swept up with the mystery of it all. This had more mystery than magic, but this story of friends ended up being tearjerking even if it wasn't perfect. I think that knowing that this is more of a middle-grade read and that this story is more about mystery and friendship will set you up with a good experience. Thanks to NetGalley and Peachtree Publishers for allowing me to read Some Kind of Magic in exchange for an honest review! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The award-winning author of Crossing Jordan brings her Neighborhood novels to a close with "a fine, complex tale of family, friends and magic" (Kirkus Reviews). I wish . . . just for once, something exciting would happen around here. Cass, Jemmie, Ben, and Justin have been friends for years now, but this could be their last summer together. They start high school in the fall, and each of them has different feelings about the future. Then something unusual happens during a basketball game. Ben's little brother, Cody, shows up, wearing a fedora left behind by their missing uncle, claiming the cap is magic. With the brim covering his eyes, Cody sinks the ball in the hoop--twice. Although the older kids are hesitant to believe in a magic hat, it soon leads them into the woods to an abandoned house with a mysterious past that will change everything . . .
