Items related to Almost Magic
Ever since she turned twelve, Apple Bramblewood's life has been plagued by visits from weird creatures from the magical realms.
It seems she is a rare Attractor, a Wizard whose sole talent is solving the clamorous demands of very odd beings, usually in the most unorthodox, haphazard, and klutzy ways. Apple doesn't want to be an Attractor; her most passionate goal is to attend the ordinary high school with ordinary kids where her perfect older sister, Cornelia, is allowed to go. Her parents have no doubts about Cornelia's magical prowess, but Apple seems destined to be home-schooled forever if she can't pass the entrance exam and perfect at least one magical enchantment.
Almost Magic is Apple's first-person account of that magic summer between childhood and adolescence and, in Apple's case, one filled with the most amazing, hilarious, and often dangerous events.

Review:
Appolonia Bramblewood is Almost Magic. She’s also a fun, quirky twelve-year old with the usual assortment of teen problems like tough exams and an annoyingly perfect older sister. But coming from an ancient magical family, Apple also faces some pretty fantastic ordeals. Who else would have the wish fairy crash through her roof? Or an alien enforcer take over her philodendron? Thankfully, Apple has her cranky wand, Wanda, and her family to help her solve these remarkable problems and to teach her to stand on her own two magical feet.
Kathleen Bullock puts a new twist on growing up with Almost Magic. It’s a perfect addition to any young fantasy enthusiast’s library. I can’t wait to read more tales from Apple’s journal!
