Description


Amy Noelle Parks’s Lia and Beckett’s Abracadabra is a star-crossed YA rom-com that has the charm of Love and Gelato and the magic of Now You See Me.
 
Seventeen-year-old Lia Sawyer is thrilled to get a mysterious invitation from her grandmother to compete in a stage magic contest––even though her parents object. But she’s going to be judged by a bunch of old-school magicians who think that because she’s a girl, her only magical talents lie in wearing sparkly dresses, providing distractions, and getting sawed, crushed, or stretched.
 
And Lia can’t ask her grandmother for help because she’s disappeared, leaving behind only her best magic tricks, a few obscure clues, and an order to stay away from Blackwell boys, the latest generation of a rival magic family. Lia totally plans to follow her grandmother’s rule––until the cute boy she meets on the beach turns out to be Beckett Blackwell, son of the biggest old guard magical family there is.
 
Witty and romantic, Lia and Beckett’s Abracadabra is a YA rom-com with a magical twist!
 
“The romance sizzles with slow-burn longing . . . The author crafts captivating descriptions of the various magic acts and ensures that even the supporting characters have fleshed-out storylines . . . An enchanting enemies-to-lovers romance.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
