Introducing an extraordinary new voice---a magical debut that will make your skin tingle, your eyes glisten . . .and your heart sing.
Midnight Gulch used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity knows all about things like that; her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart.
But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck's about to change. A "word collector," Felicity sees words everywhere---shining above strangers, tucked into church eves, and tangled up her dog's floppy ears---but Midnight Gulch is the first place she's ever seen the word "home." And then there's Jonah, a mysterious, spiky-haired do-gooder who shimmers with words Felicity's never seen before, words that make Felicity's heart beat a little faster.
Felicity wants to stay in Midnight Gulch more than anything, but first, she'll need to figure out how to bring back the magic, breaking the spell that's been cast over the town . . . and her mother's broken heart.

I love the way how Felicity can collect words. This book is my absolute favorite book ever!
This book was OK.
I didn't like it. :(
I really enjoyed this book, especially the ice cream.
I idd not like this book. It had no action and i like action like books and this was awful. It was also really weird how Felicity collected words. I DID NOT LIKE THIS BOOK. If i did not have to read this for school the i would of not read it.
Actually I read lots of action books and mysteries and those types of stuff and this isn't actually as bad as you describe it honestly.
i love ice cream alot so why wouldnt i love this book

This is an interesting book. I wanna read it!!!
I didn't like this book much it didn't have that much action and I wouldn't have read it if I didn't need to read it for school. :(
I love this book and would strongly recommend it to people who love books about extraordinary kinds of magic. "A Snicker of Magic" is extremely well-written and has an intriguing plot. Felicity Pickle, the main character, is able to see words everywhere in all different fonts, sizes, and colors. Her journey begins and comes to an end in Midnight Gulch, mysterious place that holds many secrets for Felicity to discover.
