SUMMARY:LOC National Book Festival - Claribel A. Ortega
DESCRIPTION:PBS Books\, in collaboration with The WNET Group in New York\, hosts Claribel A. Ortega\, a New York Times bestselling and award-winning author who writes middle grade and young adult fantasy novels inspired by her Dominican heritage.  \nEvery year\, in the magical town of Ravenskill\, Witchlings who participate in the Black Moon Ceremony are placed into covens and come into their powers as full-fledged witches.\n\nAnd twelve-year-old Seven Salazar can’t wait to be placed in the most powerful coven with her best friend! But on the night of the ceremony\, in front of the entire town\, Seven isn’t placed in one of the five covens. She’s a Spare!\n\nSpare covens have fewer witches\, are less powerful\, and are looked down on by everyone. Even worse\, when Seven and the other two Spares perform the magic circle to seal their coven and cement themselves as sisters\, it doesn’t work! They’re stuck as Witchlings—and will never be able to perform powerful magic.\n\nSeven invokes her only option: the impossible task. The three Spares will be assigned an impossible task: If they work together and succeed at it\, their coven will be sealed and they’ll gain their full powers. If they fail… Well\, the last coven to make the attempt ended up being turned into toads. Forever.\n\nBut maybe friendship can be the most powerful magic of all…\n\nWith action-packed adventure\, a coven of quirky witchlings\, Claribel A. Ortega’s signature humor and girl-power vibes\, this middle grade Latine witch story is truly a modern classic.\n\nAlso available on Facebook and Youtube. \nExplore the 2023 Library of Congress National Book Festival Virtual Author Talks \n\nAbout Claribel A.
