Overview

“Charming, magical, and thoroughly delightful.” -Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After series

The first in a new series about magical matchmakers, Suitehearts #1: Harmony and Heartbreak is a feel-good light romance about two 13-year-old cousins and their first solo attempts at creating enchanted love connections. Perfect for young readers who love Whatever After, The Jumbies, and The Princess Diaries.

Cousins Rose and Cora Seville aren't your typical eighth graders. They are matchmakers-in-training, learning how to magically make love connections out of San Francisco's Hotel Coeur, where they live in the penthouse suite. As young Fledglings, Rose and Cora must perfect their charms and enchantments to pass a test that will determine their future, but they are not prepared for all the drama ahead!

Confident, cool Rose, the most promising Fledgling of her generation, thinks her magic can help her handle any assignment that's thrown at her. But when she is faced with a bitter rival and headstrong Kindling, will she be able to rise to the challenge?

As for kind-yet-complicated Cora, she's usually in her cousin's shadow. But new powers that allow her to see others' emotions might make her a secret weapon in the matchmaking world. Will Cora's special abilities help or hurt her when a crush on a boy puts her matchmaker ethics on the line?

Full of magic and mishaps, Suitehearts is a new series from award-winning storyteller Claire Kann that will keep readers smiling and wishing for more.

Two girls use their magical abilities to help others form bonds of love.

Rose and Cora Seville are 12-year-old cousins whose fathers are twins. They are also Matchmakers who have magical powers that allow them to forge love connections between people. As Fledglings—young Matchmakers-in-training—Rose and Cora practice their skills under the supervision of their guardians. One day, they learn they’ve been selected to take exams that would allow them to graduate to a higher Matchmaker level. However, they must do these challenges without their guardians’ help. Rose, always confident and with an intuitive access to her magic, is excited about this opportunity. Cora, used to being in her cousin’s shadow and more challenged by tapping into her magic, is filled with doubt. They have two chances to pass: If they fail, they could have their magic taken away. On top of that, the challenges are set up to intentionally test their individual weaknesses. Will Rose and Cora overcome their obstacles and pass their tests, or will these trials prove to be too much, too soon? Kann takes readers into an exciting magical world that explores themes that feel connected to real life; they will be drawn into Rose’s and Cora’s lives and find themselves rooting for both girls. The cousins are Black; Rose’s mother is White.

A fresh take on middle-grade magic. (Fantasy. 9-13)
