Nina Kiriki Hoffman’s A Fistful of Sky
Like the other books I’ve read by this author, this was kind of weird but engrossing and satisfying. This one is about a family with magical powers, but the middle girl never developed any during her teen years, and they suddenly break out when she's twenty—except it’s not a cute power, but a darker one. But Hoffman never goes in the expected direction, so things are way different than that implies. I loved all the family relationships here (though warning that the protagonist is a bit chubby and has a disapproving mother); the sibling interactions are all just really sweet and funny. There's another book about this family, and I’m excited to read more of them. A/A-.
