Description of Bayou Magic
It’s Maddy’s turn to have a bayou summer. At first she misses life back home
in the city, but soon she grows to love everything about her new
surroundings — the glimmering fireflies, the glorious landscape, and
something else, deep within the water, that only Maddy sees. Could it be a
mermaid? As her grandmother shares wisdom about sayings and signs, Maddy
realizes she may be only the sibling to carry on her family’s magical
legacy. And when a disastrous oil leak threatens the bayou, she knows she
may also be the only one who can help. Does she have what it takes to be a
hero?
A coming-of-age tale rich with folk magic, set in the wake of the Gulf oil
spill, Bayou Magic celebrates hope, friendship, and family, and captures the
wonder of life in the Deep South.
