A Gift of Magic

By: Lois Duncan

Narrated by: Casey Holloway

When the old woman died, she left her grandchild Nancy with the extraordinary gift of magic. Nancy can read people's minds, know their thoughts, and make them do what she wants. Will she use her gift for good, or satisfy her own selfish desire? Lois Duncan presents a paranormal rollercoaster ride with goosebumps at every turn.

Classic

I remember this book so fondly from my childhood. I read this book when I was eleven or twelve and re-read it a zillion times as a teen. I stumbled upon it as an audiobook, and it brought back this treasure of a story. Great book for young teens and also enjoyed it as an adult.

Definitely on my recommended list.

This was the first book by Lois Duncan that I read when I was around 10 or 11 years old. It hooked me then and I often return to re-read it. Lois Duncan has a way of making her characters (and their stories) feel realistic. More grounded despite some of the supernatural elements. A Gift of Magic is something that I would recommend if someone's looking for a novel about an ESP youth who experienced a happier life than the main character of Carrie.

Amazing

I love books music dance and magic what more is there to say I love it!

When I was 12

This was my favorite book when I was 12 years old. My copy was lost in storage for years and I recently found it; old, worn, and torn pages. It was a delight to listen to this as an adult and remember how much I loved this story. There is magic in this book, but also so many real feelings that make it heartening.
