Everyone in the Brittle family has a magical talent--except Shiloh. But she's determined to unlock her own greatness in this charmingly quirky novel about family and forgiveness from Newbery Honor winner Kate O'Shaughnessy. "A tale of stubborn secrets, homespun magic, and the courage it takes to face difficult truths . . . Lingers with the same warmth and comfort of something delicious just pulled from the oven."--Ingrid Law, Newbery Honor winner for Savvy A CALIBA GOLDEN POPPY BOOK AWARD WINNER Nearly every member of the Brittle family has an extraordinary talent--except Shiloh. Her aunt makes pickles that tell your fortune. Her great-aunt brews tea that gives you good dreams. Her sister can grow pumpkins the size of a small house.

And with the Brittle family reunion coming up, she's determined to prove it to all her relatives. When Auntie Dee's fortune-telling pickles reveal that Shiloh does have a talent--and that it's somehow connected to her late brother--Shiloh feels more confused than vindicated. Why would her mom have kept this from her? The pickles' prophesy offers cryptic clues for finding her talent--something involving an oven? and a new friend?--and Shiloh throws herself into the search. But discovering the truth about herself means digging up secrets her mom would rather keep buried. This year's family reunion may well be the most dramatic one yet... Newbery Honor winner Kate O'Shaughnessy gives us a moving, magic-tinged story about family, friendship, forgiveness . . . and fortune-telling pickles!
