The tale doesn't hinge on the magical elements, they just enhance it. I love the magic in these stories, because it's subtle enough to make you believe. Par for the course at the Waverley house.Ī strange man is hanging around town and seems to be interested in Claire for some reason. The apple tree is still blooming in the fall and throwing apples at those it doesn't approve of. Oh, and Evanelle is still giving strange things to everyone. And Bay still keeps trying to put things where they belong. The hair cutting is more than what it seems. If you've read Garden Spells, you know there's more to the story. She's making money, but everyone misses her cooking. Sidney still cuts hair at her salon and is trying to help out a single teen mom by letting her work there.Ĭlaire is no longer catering - she now makes candy that has become popular throughout the nation and is too busy and maybe not as happy as she once was. Is this her first love? When her mother, Sidney, finds out, she's concerned because he's the son of the man who broke her heart many years ago. She's decided that she needs to have some kind of relationship with a boy named Josh. It isn't necessary to have read Garden Spells first, but I would recommend you do - just to round out the setting and characters in First Frost.īay is now 15 years old - about ten years have passed since Garden Spells.

First Frost is another heartwarming story about the Waverley women who were first introduced in Garden Spells.
