Literature: Summer Reading

I read A Gift of Magic by Lois Duncan for my summer reading assignment. The book was about how Nancy, the main character, has to adapt to her parent's divorce and living in a settled home. She has ESP, or a gift of magic, from her grandmother. Her grandmother also gave some other gifts: the gift of dancing to Kirby, Nancy's sister, the gift of music to Brendon, Nancy's brother, a house to Nancy's mom, and the gift of storytelling to the author, Nancy's "stepsister." I imagine the author to be an interesting person, in a sense. Since she wrote a whole book on a story with the main character having ESP, she probably believes in some type of "magic," or is at least interested in it. In fact, I suppose she could be like kokopelli1015, since people who read/write usually know a fairly decent amount of interesting things, are pretty easy-going, and have a lot of creativity, which is what Lois Duncan seems to have. Also, she probably went through some tough times in her life, since divorce is a pretty rocky topic to write about.
