Right behind Jodi Picoult, Alice Hoffman is one of my favorite authors. She 
has written numerous books including Practical Magic, Here on Earth, and Turtle Moon. Each of her novels has a hint of magic included in the pages and this novel is no exception. Hoffman also describes people and places so poetically that you can easily imagine yourself in the novel.

I just started reading Jodi Picoult books and really like her style. I'm excited to add Alice HOffman to the list!
Um, I totally just realized that I've read 'Practical Magic' and 'Aquamarine' -- both by Alice Hoffman. Guess I just need to add MORE of her books to the list. :)
I read a book in which a young girl gained power to see the future...now I'm going to have to read this book and see if I can find that other one!
