Reviews"Fowley-Doyle is herself a literary spell caster, conjuring up a suspenseful and sensual ambiance . . . This smart and sexy page-turner that readers will want to devour and share with their friends is a real find."-- School Library Journal , starred review "Fowley-Doyle's lush, atmospheric storytelling contrasts brilliantly with her characters' teenage normalcy--drinking, skiving, and cursing while mostly loving their parents and sticking up for each other. Readers will need patience to untangle the plot's silver threads, but those who savored Fowley-Doyle's previous The Accident Season will relish this as well."-- Kirkus "Complex, ambitious, magical."-- Daily Mail " Spellbook is reminiscent of a medieval tapestry in its color, complexity, and stylistic texture. . . . This book is sure to please teens who enjoyed Fowley-Doyle's debut novel, The Accident Season ."-- VOYA "This book is filled with mystery and the storytelling is as enchanting as the spell it contains. Readers will get lost in this tale."-- School Library Connection PRAISE FOR THE ACCIDENT SEASON : * Kirkus Best Book of the Year * SLJ Best Book of the Year * YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults * Indie Next Pick * Carnegie Medal Nominee * Waterstone's Children's Book Award finalist "Fowley-Doyle's stunning debut novel weaves the temporal and the spiritual into a seamless reality, rich in emotional impact. Devastating loss and abuse are balanced by romance, teen hijinks, and spine-tingling discoveries. . . . This thought-provoking narrative will cast its spell over older teens and adults alike."-- School Library Journal , starred review "Ghosts, secrets, and magic collide in this Irish author's astonishing debut. . . . a moving portrait of a fractured family, knitting itself back together with courage and love. A powerful novel from an exciting new talent."-- Kirkus, starred review "Beautifully crafted and atmospheric, the magic realism of this book gradually peels away to expose secrets and reveal unexpected truths. Readers will be swept away by Fowley-Doyle's lyrical writing and entrancing premise in this tale of forbidden love and magic."-- Booklist "Sensuous, eerie, lyrical . . . Fowley-Doyle's The Accident Season reads like a poem. The mystery is intriguing, the writing is gorgeous, and the characters are vivid. A lovely debut."--April Tulcholke, author of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea " The Accident Season is amazing."--Holly Black "Atmospheric and magical."-- VOYA "A lyrical and sometimes chilling exploration of the ways in which we manipulate memories to fall in line with our present narrative--the lies we tell ourselves to keep our brains safe and happy. Cara's narration brilliantly, sometimes brutally conveys the unraveling of both Cara and her family . . . and the bittersweet ending will haunt readers as much it does Cara."-- BCCB
