After more moves than they can count, Isa's family finally puts down roots. People in town are afraid of the abandoned orchard behind their home, but Isa and her sister Junie are happy to have acres of land to explore.
But when Junie gets sick, Isa's mom falls into a depression, and medical bills force Isa's dad to work more. No one notices that Isa's clothes are falling apart and her stomach is empty.
Out of frustration, Isa buries her out-grown sneakers in the orchard. The next day a sapling sprouts buds that bloom to reveal new shoes. Can Isa use this magical tree to save her family?
Review
"Readers will fall in love with strong-willed, spunky Isa in this magical story about hope, resilience, and what it means to be family."--Abby Cooper, author of Bubbles and Sticks and Stones

"Rebecca Caprara has beautifully walked the line between magic and real life in The Magic of Melwick Orchard. For families with children who have illnesses, they will see the truth of what it is like when one member of the family is sick. This story will hold your heart, break it, and then mend it back together."--Kati Gardner, author of Brave Enough

"Isabel discovers an astonishing secret--one that has the power to change everything--about the old orchard next to her house. Narrator Isabel, known as Isa to her family, is 12, solitary, and somewhat angry. Her parents are so consumed by her 6-year-old sister Junie's battle with kidney cancer that they seem to have all but forgotten Isa, who feels invisible. And Isa misses the one person, Junie, who she has decided would be her only friend. Multiple moves (nine in her 12 years) have made Isa determined to protect herself from saying goodbye to friends when she is uprooted again. But now her family lives in a house, away from the city, for the first time. Melwick Orchard hadn't produced apples in years when Isa's family arrived, but an oddly behaved squirrel and a sapling that grows overnight into a luminous-barked, silvery-blue-leafed tree produce something special for Isa when she needs it most. Caprara's principal characters--all seem to be white--are likable, and the worries of a family caught up in overwhelming circumstances are sympathetically portrayed. Junie is a precocious wordsmith, and Isa's exuberant neighbor, Kira, becomes a friend to Isa just when she needs one. The magic in the orchard is low-key, charming, and convincing, and the happy ending, only partly dependent on magic, is equally believable. Warmhearted and compelling."--Kirkus Reviews
--Journal

"Caprara beautifully captures the unbreakable bond between sisters when life throws a curveball. A tender and imaginative debut."--Jenn Bishop, author of 14 Hollow Road and The Distance to Home
