4-6Wild Magic series.
To save their family, Mup, her mam, and her baby brother cross a magical border into the realm of witches; there Mup discovers secrets about her heritage as well as another side of herself. Kiernan creates a rich new story in the fantasy tradition, with familiar tropes such as human-animal transformations and rhyming riddles alongside fresher elements (including a dark-skinned protagonist). Readers will look forward to the projected sequels.
