Gigi Pandian and the Masquerading Magician

Gigi Pandian's new book comes out this week. We had a chance to catch up with Gigi while she is on her whirlwind book tour throughout the west coast. 

Here's what she had to say about her new book, The Masquerading Magician:

Here's a description of the book:

Deciphering an ancient alchemy book is more difficult than Zoe Faust bargained for. She’d much rather be gardening and exploring her new home of Portland, Oregon—but time is running out for living gargoyle Dorian Robert-Houdin. If Zoe isn’t able to unlock the alchemy book’s secrets soon, the French gargoyle will remain awake but trapped in stone forever.

When Zoe gives herself a rare night out to attend a classic magic show that reminds her of her youth, she realizes the stage magicians are much more than they seem. A murder at the theater leads back to a string of unsolved robberies and murders in Portland’s past, and a mystery far more personal than Zoe and Dorian ever imagined.

Here's Gigi's smoothie recipe for the Accidental Alchemist, the first book in this series.
