Why read it?
1 author picked Island Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read this book as a teenager, and it was the writing rather than the story itself which made a huge impression on me. It made me feel afraid in parts, not because the book is a scary story, but the location is so real, I can feel the presence of spirits in the paths that Rachell walks!
