Synopsis
Suzanne Selfors is back with another a humorous light-fantasy adventure that is sure to appeal to anyone who has ever dared to dream.
This story takes place in the dark, dank village of Runny Cove. There, orphan Isabelle works her fingers to the bone at the Magnificently Supreme Umbrella Factory, struggling to support herself and her Grandma Maxine. That is, until Isabelle discovers that she has inherited Fortune's Farm, the last place on earth where magic grows. Now Isabelle must use the magic to save the people of Runny Cove without spilling the secret of Fortune's Farm to the world-or worse, to the greedy factory owner, Mr. Supreme, who wants to exploit the magical fruit for his own selfish purposes.

Review
“Fortune’s Magic Farm is a love apple for all readers, delicious and magical.” ―Grace Lin, Newbery Honor author of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
“Few authors have ever come close to being compared to Dahl, and nobody has his distinctive flavor. One of the very few authors to do so would have to be Suzanne Selfors....A pure pleasure to read for child and adult alike.” ―Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal, A Fuse #8 Production
“Placing an indomitable character in situations as bleak as they are absurd, Selfors has written a darkly comic adventure in the tradition of Roald Dahl.” ―Junior Library Guild
“Beautiful writing, quirky characters, and an imaginative plot...make this a good choice, showing how one little girl can use her spirit to save the world.” ―Booklist
“Readers will cheer for Isabelle throughout the story.” ―School Library Journal
“Readers will cozy up to the tale’s quirky characters and enjoy the many twists and turns of this magical adventure.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Hand this to fans of Eva Ibbotson, to kids who like their magic with some meat to it, and to adults who want a fabulous read-aloud.” ―Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“This quirky book...is full of silly songs and vivid secondary characters.” ―The Seattle Times
