Description
Lynda Barrys Ernie Pooks Comeek... made the world look wild, ugly, joyful, and mysterious.?The New YorkerMaybonne Mullen is riding on a bummer according to her little sister Marlys. As much as teenage Maybonne prays and tries she just cant connect to the magic of living. How can she when theres so much upheaval at home and school, not to mention the world at large? And yet Marlys always seems able to tap into it.In Its So Magic, the Mullen family dynamics are in flux. Uncle John makes a brief return to town to the delight of the girls. Freddy is finally reunited with his sisters. Marlys falls in love for the first time. And after they finally settle into a routine at their grandmothers the Mullen siblings mother might be ready to take them back in. With war in the background and precarious parental support, the siblings long for peace, finding it in the small things like grocery store turkey drawing contests and fishing trips.Narrated by Maybonne, Marlys, and Freddy, Its So Magic captures Lynda Barrys unparalleled ability to depict the magic of youth experiencing firsts in a world that contains as much humour as it does hardship.
