(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Lacy's determination to overcome her capacity for wickedness is threatened when her father dies and her estranged mother reappears. Aspiring-botanist Lacy's sharp, earnest voice relates her journey through frustration to forgiveness; small-scale magic contributes to the narrative's transformative environment. Though spells help characters cope, the plot is compelled by personal interactions more strongly than by fantasy.
