White Magic

Natalie and kid brother Denny (revealed in MY AUNT, THE MONSTER to be a magician) are spending the summer at their beloved uncle's horse farm. Natalie is thrilled by the power of magic, but learns that while you can sometimes control it, magic can also control you.  Misuse of magic can result in unsuspected consequences, and Natalie learns some life lessons in this tale of a dressage competition and coping with prejudice.


"A delightful new series, with a pair of charming but flawed kids who act like real siblings, save that they keep stumbling into genuine magic ... Seasoned with a hint of deeper mysticism, this is fine and lively writing that will appeal to any kid with a taste for the fantastic... I can't wait to see what else Mary Stanton has up her enchanted sleeve."

- Bruce Coville, author of My Teacher Is an Alien


"Mary Stanton's Magical Mysteries are the stories that every child dreams of but rarely finds. Natalie and Denny have the style, pace and plots to push Goosebumps to the back of the rack."

- Charles Sheffield, creator of Jupiter Line Young Adult Science Fiction Novels
