I’ve been looking forward to reading this book for a few months now because I very much enjoyed Natalie Lloyd’s previous novel, A Snicker of Magic from 2014. As she hunts for it, she learns some stories about her hometown’s history and learns some lessons about friendship and love. Emma is determined to find the legendary treasure of Blackbird Hollow to save the café, so she is sure that the key she sees in her dream has something to do with that treasure. ![]() Emma has her Destiny Dream the summer before her twelfth birthday, when she has just found out that her Granny Blue is about to sell the family café.
