Felicity Pickle, her mom, and sister have spent most of her life moving from place to place. A turn of events sends them to their mom's hometown of Midnight Gulch, a town that used to be home to magic, until a family curse banished it. All that remains is just a "snicker." Felicity has her own gift, she sees words dancing everywhere....whimsy, fierce, kaleidoscope. Amazing, revealing words. At the same time, she seems cursed with a inability to articulate them outside her family. In Midnight Gulch, she finally makes a real friend, and wants, more than anything, to stay. She suspects, however, that her mom is cursed to wander. With the help of music, friends, ice cream with a snicker of magic, and her own courage, she hopes to end the curse for good.
This book had wonderful, insightful, moments, that made me love it a bit. But, it also seemed to move a bit out of rhythm. Sections would drag that could have moved along. Then, sections that were exciting and compelling seemed too abrupt. That is the real reason I can't say I loved this book, because it just couldn't keep me engrossed.
