The Ghosts of Rose Hill

In "Magic Will Burn You Up," Ilana Lopez, a biracial Jewish girl, grapples with her dreams of becoming a violinist against her immigrant parents' hopes for her future. While living with her aunt in Prague, she discovers a hidden Jewish cemetery and meets the ghost of a gentle boy named Benjamin, who reveals the city's magical secrets. As Ilana navigates her feelings for Benjamin and encounters a mysterious man named Rudolph, who offers her the power of magic, she faces difficult choices that could change her life forever. R.M. Romero weaves a spellbinding tale, inspired by her experiences restoring Jewish cemeteries in Eastern Europe.
