HOUSE OF FRANK

Imani Jade Powers performs a cozy fantasy about a grieving witch who finds solace at a magical home under the watchful eye of a mythical beast named Frank. Saika lost her magical powers in the same series of events that took her beloved sister. She journeys to put her sister to rest and arrives at the famous Ash Gardens, where she's quickly taken in by Frank and then discovers a mysterious threat besieging the home. Powers imbues Frank with a deep voice and an affectionate tone, and captures the grieving Saika's hope in the face of loss with artful delicacy. It's an unforgettable story about found family and overcoming grief, and Powers's capable narration evokes a warm hug. J.M.M.
