Encanto: A Tale of Three Sisters
For ages 8-12
Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel. But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family's last hope.
Writing the middle-grade novelization of the 2021 Disney movie Encanto was such a fun experience! I got to imagine what the three Madrigal sisters thought and did when the magic was in trouble.
