Marjorie Magic

Marjorie has a problem.
Her magic doesn’t work.


Her mother can mow the lawn with a knock of her knee. Her father can fold the laundry with a wiggle of his eyebrow. Even her baby brother can make his toys fly. But when Marjorie twitches her nose? Nothing happens at all.

Marjorie worries. If she’s not the same as the rest of her family, does she belong?

When she discovers a book filled with magical recipes, Marjorie’s heart fills with hope.
​Maybe some people are born doing magic, but maybe other people can learn!


Join Marjorie on her magical adventure to discover the truth: can an ordinary, unmagical person belong in a family called Magic?

A story about belonging, perseverance and grit. Journey with Marjorie as she discovers her own special brand of magic.
