Waiting for the Magic

We've been reading the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees! Post a comment to share your thoughts on the Division I nominee, Waiting for the Magic by Patricia MacLachlan.

When William’s father leaves, his mother promptly goes out and adds four dogs and a cat to their lives. William’s sure that nothing can fill the hole left by his father, but the new additions to the family are determined to help. With his sister, Elinor, and his mother, William will learn that “family” can come in all shapes and sizes, because sometimes we find love through magic, and sometimes that magic is all around us.
