365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #188: Like Magic

I can understand the title, friendship does sort of feel like magic. It definitely seems exactly like that when you have really good friends. Like Magic is a middle grade story where friendship is a key component of the story. I think this would be a cute book to read and I also think the cover is really cute.

Description:

This sweet middle grade novel featuring a diverse cast of characters proves that friendship can be just around the corner.

For three ten-year-old girls, their once simple worlds are starting to feel too big. Painfully shy Grace dreads starting fifth grade now that her best friend has moved away. Jada hopes she’ll stop feeling so alone if she finds her mother, who left years ago. And Malia fears the arrival of her new baby sister will forever change the family she loves. When the girls each find a mysterious treasure box in their library and begin to fill the box with their own precious things, they start to feel less alone. But it’s up to Grace, Jada, and Malia to take the treasures and turn them into something more: true friendship.
