The Red Book of Blue Magic — Charles Haddad

A funny yet moving coming of age story about a contemporary southern teenager stranded between two worlds. Zelma Dupree has lost her beloved father and childhood home as her historic factory town gentrifies. Descended from a long line of backwoods shamans, Zelma turns to witchcraft to avenge those who have betrayed her. She summons back a Civil War era ghost in that plot that goes dangerously awry.
