"Magic for Beginners" is Kelly Link's eagerly anticipated and critically acclaimed follow-up to her beloved debut, "Stranger Things Happen." "Cumulatively weirder and wiser" ("The Believer"), this new story collection riffs on zombies, marriage, witches, superheroes, haunted convenience stores, and weekly apocalyptic poker parties, among other things. Link's work is truly unique. "Time Out New York" called her stories "cross-genre gems," and her admirers in the literary community--from Peter Straub and Karen Joy Fowler to Alice Sebold and Michael Chabon--reflect the amazing range that makes her style so special. Call it kitchen sink magical realism: Fantastic and bizarre but funny and down to earth, there is something for everyone in "Magic for Beginners."

Store description
Welcome! My name is Nina, I'm a homeschool mom of five. As you can imagine homeschoolers love, love, love their books! The Shop Around the Corner has a special place in our homeschool. We utilize this shop as part of our children's homeschool education.
When you order from my store you are not only helping to support our homeschool, but you are taking an active role in helping them learn the ins and outs of online based business. Every week we sit down and enter inventory together. We talk about profit and loss. We set reasonable goals for the week ahead. We talk about fix cost vs variable cost. Etc. Etc.
Thank you so much for being a part of our homeschool journey!
