Summer of salt
(Book)

Georgina Fernweh waits impatiently for the tingle of magic in her fingers-magic that has touched every woman in her family. But with her eighteenth birthday looming at the end of this summer, Georgina fears her gift will never come. Over the course of her last summer on the island-a summer of storms, falling in love, and the mystery behind one rare three-hundred-year-old bird-Georgina will learn the truth about magic, in all its many forms. -- from Amazon.

The Fernweh family has lived on the island of By-the-Sea-where the two smells you can always be sure of are "salt and magic"-for generations. Almost 18-year-old twins Georgina and Mary are the latest in a long line of Fernweh women with magical gifts ranging from teleportation to potion-making (the sisters' mother Penelope can brew a mean hangover cure). Every summer, By-the-Sea also hosts 300-year-old Annabella, an Eastern Seaborn Flicker bird who may be a Fernweh herself, and the influx of tourists who come to see her. But when Annabella is found violently murdered, suddenly the island doesn't seem so magical, and more than one dark secret must be uncovered -- from School Library Journal.
