I read a book in 4th or 5th grade, and I remember parts of it, but I don't remember the name.

I remember that the main character is a girl, and she lives with her father, brother and stepmother. I also remember that she is some sort of magical being , and when she uses magic, unknowingly, she says it smells like burnt sugar. There was also something about a tree, and a portal opens on a certain day that might be Halloween, and she goes inside and finds her mother.

That's all I remember, and if someone can make sense of my babbles, please tell me the name of this book!

Thank you!

I think I may have read it. Are there wolves in it as well? And these power things that look like candy wrappers to other people, but to the girl they look like golden sparkly things? Now I'm trying to remember what that book is called as well...

I found out the name! The book is called Spellfall by Katherine Roberts :D

That's it! Yes I have read it but that was ages ago... :)
