A familiar is a special magical creature that is summoned by a witch or wizard when they turn fourteen years of age. This connection is the most important relationship that a magic user will ever have. The familiars are from a realm where they are chosen for the witch or wizard who are destined to bring them into their world. On her fourteenth birthday, April Alexandrite Wolfsteller summons a black cat named Asriel Mords. After she calls him, she starts to have visions of someone that seems awfully familiar. Could the old hag’s tale of black cats being a misfortune omen be true? With midterms fast approaching and these premonitions, our heroine has a tremendous amount of pressure on her plate.

Book Description
The fourteen fantastical stories in Magic For Unlucky Girls take the familiar tropes of fairytales and twist them into new and surprising shapes. These unlucky girls, struggling against a society that all too often oppresses them, are forced to navigate strange worlds as they try to survive. From carnivorous husbands to a bath of lemons to whirling basements that drive people mad, these stories are about the demons that lurk in the corners and the women who refuse to submit to them, instead fighting back—sometimes with their wit, sometimes with their beauty, and sometimes with shotguns in the dead of night.

Book Description
Saul Diskins extraordinary memoir is rich with unique and wonderful intimacythe intimacy of twinship. For me this made that closest of bonds come alive in a way no other book Ive read has succeeded in doing. Diskin makes one feel like a twin, see the world through a twins eyes, suffer with him in a way that is at times almost unbearably close and poignant. One becomes immersed in the life and death struggle. The medical detail is wonderfully well-done, as are all the relationships. The peculiar and overwhelming nature of twinship is brought out in a way thats both uncannily spirited and wholly down-to-earth; completely unsentimental. The reader participates at every point and on every page in an intimacy that he knows only death can end. JOHN BAYLEY, author of Elegy for Iris "...you have captured the essence of the twin relationship more eloquently than anyone else I have ever read." Nancy Segal, author of Entwined Lives, Indivisible by Two and Someone Else's Twin. What is it like to lose your mirror-image, your other half, your secret sharer? The End of the Twins is an arresting memoir that evokes the mysteries of twinship and the irrevocability of loss. ERICA JONG, author of Fear of Flying and Becoming Light A moving account of a unique bereavement from which we can all learn about love and loss. HAROLD S. KUSHNER, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
