Readers loved the alternate world Sarah Beth Durst created in “The Spellshop,” and in her new novel, “The Enchanted Greenhouse,” she takes us back to that charming, magic-filled world where flying cats roam and miniature dragons pollinate huge sunflowers in magical greenhouses. In the first book, we learned of Terlu Perna, a lonely librarian who broke the law when she created a sentient plant to keep her company in her solitary life among the stacks of magical spell books. She was sentenced to be turned into a wooden statue forever.

In a sweet novel filled with flowers, magic, and everlasting love, J. C. Cervantes takes us to Mexico, to the magical hacienda “la Casa de las Flores,” where a family of women have woven their magic for generations using the enchanted flowers they grow on their beautiful flower farm. “The Anatomy of Magic,” focuses on Lily Estrada, weaver of memory magic. Each of the women in the Estrada family wields her own kind of floral magic.
