Conjure Pdf is a Magical Realism and Short Stories novel By Alice Hoffman.
“It was August, when the crickets sang slowly and the past lingered in bright pools of glorious light, even though it would soon be gone, the way summer was all but over, yet the heat was still on the rise. The weather had been extreme that month: days of drenching rain, sudden showers of hail, temperatures passing record highs. Local children whispered that an angel had fallen to earth in a thunderstorm. There were roving groups who swore they had found signs. Footprints in the grass, black feathers, a campfire in the woods behind the high school where there were sparks of shimmering ash. One neighborhood boy vowed that he had seen a man in a black cloak rise above the earth and walk on air, and although no one believed his account, mothers began to keep their children home. They locked the doors, called in the dogs, kept the lights on after dusk…”

I ordered this book and thought my download was messed up. Turns out I was messed up. This is a short story. Like some of the other reviewers, I also love Alice Hoffman. Her writing is wonderful. This is an interesting story and I would suggest that anyone with a teenage daughter have them read this story. Alice Hoffman has a great writing style and develops her characters so that you instantly relate to them. I like mystical books so this one skirts the edge of it. It is a great read. I just wish the book was full length. It left me wanting to know what happens to these 3 characters. Just know, you are reading a short story!

FICTION, MIDDLE GRADE (mature), MAGICAL REALISM
CONJURE is a novella told in the writing style of Ray Bradbury. Alice Hoffman has dedicated the story to Bradbury as well. The story has a fairy tale quality as it is a warning to teen girls to be careful of strangers and wishes. The underlying story balances the twilight hours of childhood innocence and the emerging sexuality and longing of adulthood. **Nothing inappropriate in the story. The message is to listen to your gut/intuition. Sometimes a friendship must be sacrificed to overcome evil intentions.

I love Alice Hoffman books, so I purchased this for a flight, not realizing it was a short story. It was excellent, and I tore through it in a matter of minutes. So, other than the disappointment from it being so short, I loved it. I enjoy how her books all have an element of the inexplicable. She can turn ordinary things into something mysterious and ominous.
