Deetjen’s Closet: A Quest for Magic
Deetjen’s Closet: A Quest for Magic
By Debbie Noble Black
An absolute delight that mixes California history, family connections, and magical realism so nicely. I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot in the process.
Sara’s interactions with various items of clothing in the closet are a terrific hook to get readers to imagine similar items and events, wherever they live.
