Quirks series.
Illustrated by
Colin Jack.
Twins Penelope and Molly continue to dodge the issue of their family's magical "quirks" (read: powers) in this unsurprising but enjoyable series entry. A trip to a monster museum unleashes spooky trouble, and Uncle Cork, visiting for the week, reveals his quirk, which he uses openly at home. Black-and-white illustrations punch up the chaotic magical action in this story of self-acceptance.
