Thirteen-year-old Rainbow discovers she can communicate with trees.
But that’s just the beginning. Her magic hands can shape trees at her will, but her gift is dangerous and has fatal consequences. An accident that leaves Rainbow unconscious leads her mother to make a confession that will change Rainbow’s life forever. Are her abilities a gift or a curse? Can Rainbow really trust her mother? From England to France, through secrets, fears and parallel worlds, Rainbow’s journey to understand her powers takes her beyond everything she’s ever known.
To find the truth, she must also find herself.
About the Author:
Harriet Springbett’s childhood on a small farm in West Dorset gave her an early exposure to nature, which continues to inspire her writing.
She qualified as an engineer but, during a Raleigh International expedition in Chile, she realised she preferred words to numbers. Also, Springbett abandoned her profession, moved to France, studied French and then worked as a project manager, feature writer, translator and TEFL teacher. She now lives in Poitou-Charentes with her French partner and their teenage children.
Since her first literary success, aged 10, her short stories and poetry have been published in literary journals and placed in writing competitions, including a shortlisting in the 2017 Bath Short Story Award.
Tree Magic Review:
This book was unbelievable, unpredictable and beautifully magical, and I really enjoyed it!
The author writes Rainbow and Mary as such dynamic and contrasting personalities. After a certain point, I started to wonder if they are two different people or the same person. You really don’t know how (or if) the two characters are connected until the very end. Moreover, the story is so out of the box and unique that you really don’t know which way it would go. Similar to how the branches of a tree spread out, we see Rainbow’s life spread into different versions. On a side note, as an Indian, I also loved the Indian ‘fictional’ folklore references to Amrita Devi and the Bishnoi People.
Also, I loved Rainbow and Mary and thought they both shined in their own unique manner. I loved her relationship with her mom and the journey they take to meet Dominique. Christophe, Trish, Gus and Nico also add well to the story, all contribute nicely to the story-line as the supporting cast. Each character touches Rainbow and Mary in some form that gives them a new experience. However, Michael was my favorite character, and I adored his scenes with Rainbow. I felt so bad when Rainbow loses her innocence and zest for life when she faces the traumatic experience.
Perhaps the only criticism I had was how lengthy some scenes were. There were certain areas where nothing new happened, which I felt could have been shortened. Apart from that, this book was magical and beautiful! Overall, I am very interested to see how the plot progresses in the next book of the series.
I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the Tree Magic (Tree Magic #1) by Harriet Springbett Blog Tour hosted by Love Books Tours.
