Malaprop's presents Erica Waters and Ash Van Otterloo
A delightful conversation with Erica Waters and Ash Van Otterloo, who both debuted magical novels for young readers in the summer of 2020. (We had a recording glitch, so the video is shorter than the live event, but still delightful!)
GHOST WOOD SONG by Erica Waters (Ages 13 and up)
Erica Waters’ eerie and lush prose shines in this debut as she seamlessly intertwines the past and the present, reality and nightmares, and the dead with the living to craft a singularly unique story that counters deep-rooted hate with love, and grief with hope.
CATTYWAMPUS by Ash Van Otterloo (Ages 8 an up)
The daughter of a rival witching family, Katy has reasons of her own for wanting to learn forbidden magic, and she's not going to let an age-old feud or Delpha's contrary ways stop her. But their quarrel accidentally unleashes a hex so heinous it resurrects a graveyard full of angry Hearn and McGill ancestors bent on total destruction. If Delpha and Katy want to reverse the spell in time to save everyone in the Hollow from rampaging zombies, they'll need to mend fences and work together.
Fans of A Snicker of Magic and The Witch Boy will love this funny, folksy, fresh debut from Ash Van Otterloo that proves sometimes it takes two witches to make the strongest magic happen.
