Magic in the making

Peri’s apprenticeship in a shop that supplies adventurers gives this fantasy its distinctive starting point: she is accustomed to mending and knitting, not joining a quest herself. When the Master Shopkeeper is kidnapped by a wizard seeking to build an army, Peri turns to a mismatched adventuring party whose members struggle to cooperate. Her knitting begins to produce unexpected magic, connecting an everyday craft to the effort to protect the shop and kingdom. The setup brings together a team adventure, magical shopkeeping, and a heroine discovering what her abilities can do.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy quests and magical settings.
  • Readers interested in a heroine whose craft becomes part of her magic.
  • Kids ages 9–12 looking for an illustrated fantasy adventure.

Book overview

Howl's Moving Castle meets Dungeons & Dragons in this debut cozy illustrated middle grade fantasy adventure that follows an unlikely heroine who rallies a ragtag team to face a dark wizard, uncovering her own magic along the way.

Peri has been waiting for her magic to show up, but there's been no sign of it since she was chosen as an Apprentice Shopkeeper a year ago. Now she travels with a magical shop that equips adventurers for their quests, unsure if she'll ever do more than stock shelves, mend mittens, and knit non-magical hats that don't do anything but keep heads warm.

Then a dark wizard kidnaps the Master Shopkeeper, intent on using her power to create an unstoppable army.

To save her master, Peri must leave the cozy shop and seek help from the closest adventuring party, who is really good at arguing and really bad at working together. As Peri's magic unexpectedly begins to show itself in the items she's knitting, it's up to her and her team to stop the dark wizard before war breaks out--or it won't be just her shop at stake but the entire kingdom.
