About the Book

What if the world could change with the stroke of a pencil? Nicky True discovered his extraordinary gift at a young age-the ability to make his drawings come to life. As a child, he could sketch a lopsided apple into perfection, but the magic was fleeting, and the image reverted to its flawed form. Now, as an old man sitting at his kitchen table, where he once taught his daughter Jo to draw, he's determined to tell the story of his life's greatest secret-before it's lost forever. Spanning seventy years of art, wonder, and heartbreak, Nicky's journey reveals how the power of imagination can reshape reality itself. From the simple joy of a child discovering shapes and colors to the bittersweet memories of love and loss, Line Magic explores the delicate balance between creating perfection and accepting imperfection. Nicky's gift is both a blessing and a curse, and his story is one of artistic obsession, a father's love, and a legacy he hopes to pass on to his daughter, Jo. As he confronts the limits of his own magic and the ticking clock of time, Nicky must come to terms with the price of his talent and the impact it has had on those he loves most. Kris Faatz's novel is a heartfelt tribute to the creative spirit and a meditation on the lines that shape our lives. Line Magic will remind you that sometimes the most beautiful creations are the ones that don't last forever. Can one man's art change the world, or does the magic lie in the act of creation itself?

Review :
Powered by an extraordinary conceit, one man's ability to draw things into reality, Kris Faatz's Line Magic is more than just fantastic feats of artistry. Drawing her own rich portrait of community, one that transcends the realities of race and class and ability in post-WWII America, Faatz's storycraft and prose wield intoxicating line magic all their own--I couldn't put it down. Jen Michalski, author of All This Can Be TrueKeep your hanky or box of tissues ready for this moving and heartfelt novel that will have you crying in sadness, in anger, in frustration, and, ultimately, in happiness. Faatz will cast a spell over you, weaving words and history, regaling you through Nicky True, Line Magic's narrator and protagonist, of a moment in time where magic opened the minds and hearts of the people of Philadelphia. Follow the flow of Line Magic and open your own heart to the possibilities. Melissa Llanes Brownlee, author of Hard Skin and Bitter Over Sweet Simply remarkable. There's not much more a reader can hope for than a uniquely original story, and Kris Faatz has done it again with Line Magic. This beautiful story is a fictional memoir of sorts by Nicky True-a man who can make magic with his drawings. Join Nicky as he reflects on a life of love, loss, and ultimately-and beautifully-finding purpose. Line Magic is a place where history meets fantasy, dreams become reality, and if you're open to it... you might just find a little magic for yourself, too. Brilliant. Charissa Costa, founder of Charm City ReadersWhat if you could change the world by simply drawing it the way you wished it to be? In Line Magic, Nicky True shares his gift of perfecting the imperfect with the mere sketch of a pencil and, in turn, learns the value of loving people exactly as they are. This story beautifully illustrates the complicated intersection of fate and magic and why even the oldest among us still hold wishes tight against their hearts. It poignantly challenges our ideas of beauty, privilege, and friendship in ways that can never be erased. Ellen Weeren, author and owner of A Reason to Write
