“Flower Moon has all the fun of a traveling carnival—it’s sweet as cotton candy and hold-on-tight scary like the Scrambler. At heart, this engaging, winsome story of mirror twins who suddenly repel each other is about friendship, family, and finding your true strength. Tally, Tempest, and their own exhilarating brand of magic spark and crackle.” —C. K. Kelly Martin, author of Stricken and I Know it’s Over

“A heartwarming story about the power of sisters and the journey of self-discovery, Flower Moon has mystery, magic, and spirit on every page. I loved Tally and her carnivalesque family’s adventures!” —Elsie Chapman, author of Dualed and Along the Indigo

“Deep, complex, and beautiful . . . like sisterhood itself.” —Elana K. Arnold, author of A Boy Called Bat and The Question of Miracles

“A delightful tale of warmhearted characters and crackling summer magic.” —Sally J. Pla, author of The Someday Birds

“A gorgeous ode to the transcendent power of sisterhood, painted in words as magical as the tale they tell.” —Sarvenaz Tash, author of The Mapmaker and the Ghostand The Geek’s Guide to Unrequited Love
