Everyone who has ever had the gift disappears, including Cardiff’s mother. But what good is having an amazing gift if you can never use it? Cardiff starts with a pink bicycle for his little sister Paris, draws an electric guitar for his big brother Zurich, and secretly leaves gifts for everyone at school. When he decides to draw a park over the old lot in town Cardiff might be taking it a step too far. The Smith family secret is a secret after all. Book 1 of The Smith Family Secret is a 12,000-word chapter book, with a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 2.9, perfect for your young reader who is excited about magic and art.
