I enjoy this book because it tells the story of a family that is struggling to keep their family secrets hidden from the outside world. Penelope has an amazing imagination, Finn is invisible, Molly has no real Quirk, Grandpa can twist time, and Bree, the mom has mind control. But grandma is unbelievable she is a real fairy. Read this book to find out all about The Quirks.

Molly and her family have moved around for years. Every time they think they've found a home, one of the Quirks slips up and sends them packing -- because the Quirk family is a bit, well,
quirky
. Each family member has a magical power that makes them unique, and highly unusual.
Mom can control minds; Grandpa twists time; Molly's twin sister Penelope has an all-too-real imagination; and Finn is the pesky kid brother -- who happens to be invisible. Then there's Molly, the most unusual Quirk of all. Molly is completely, utterly normal.
Molly's greatest desire is to fit in, and she's found the perfect spot: Normal, Michigan. With its cookie cutter houses, welcoming committees, and all-town competitions, it seems like just the place for an ordinary new life. But the Quirks aren't known for fitting in -- especially in a place like Normal...
