Switch
by Law, Ingrid
Gypsy Beaumont has always felt like a bit of an outlier, even in a family defined by their extraordinary supernatural talents, or savvies. When she finally comes into her own power, it is not the grand, heroic manifestation she expected, but something far more volatile and difficult to control. Ingrid Law crafts a story that feels like a warm, slightly chaotic summer afternoon where the boundary between the mundane and the magical is thin. The pacing balances the frantic energy of a girl trying to suppress her shifting abilities with the quieter, more tender moments of figuring out where you fit in a family of giants. It is an ideal pick for readers who enjoy stories about the messy, unpredictable business of growing up and realizing that your biggest weaknesses might actually be your greatest strengths.
