Salt Magic

Written by: Hope Larson and Rebecca Mock

First line: Lots of stories end with a kiss.

Why you should read this book: When Vonceil's big brother Elber comes back from World War I a little worse for wear, she's distressed that his first priority is to marry his hometown sweetheart and suddenly start acting like an adult, until  a mysterious and glamorous lady arrives at the family farm to stake her own claim on Elber's heart, at which point Vonceil's priorities change quickly. Vonceil would happily leave home with this interesting interloper, but Elber rejects Greda, who turns out to be a powerful salt witch, with a strange kingdom, strange powers, and a strange connection to Vonceil's family. As soon as the witch turns Vonceil's family's spring to saltwater, Vonceil knows that she is the only person who can save the farm, the town, and her own family.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You're just looking for love in all the wrong places and you know it.
