A tale that is chilling on more than one level... Zombie rats and ghastly ghosts galore--but the haunting comes from more than the spectral cast -- Kirkus
When 13-year-old Glennon McCue, his mom, and his fragile sister are left with their uncle at his lighthouse on Isle Philippeaux, Glennon desperately wants leave the desolate isle and return home. But his father is away, so Glennon is forced to spend his break surrounded by fog, rats, and chilling myths. Nothing seems quite right... with the island or with his family.
A storm rocks the island and a ship crashes near the lighthouse, leaving behind a group of sailors. Something is off about the survivors, who seem more monster than human. Soon it becomes clear that there won't be boats to take anyone home, and Glennon and his family are trapped.
It will take all Glennon's courage to save his family from the curse of the isle and the real monster in his life.

Unfolding gradually as Eliza relentlessly pieces the past together, this intriguing mystery culminates in a startling, literally transforming climax.--Kirkus Reviews
Atmospheric...this fabulist middle grade effectively employs a dream-fueled magic system that reckons with consequences.--Publishers Weekly
Praise for A Wilder Magic:
Readers who enjoyed the Savvy series by Ingrid Law and Drizzle by Kathleen Van Cleve will love this little gem. --Rebecca Williams, Portland Book Review
The relationship between magic, nature, and intent adds a thoughtful level of complexity and cost to this sophomore novel by Brandt....a poignant blend of loss and optimism as readers empathize with Sybaline's rebellion against inevitable change. --Publishers Weekly
