About
the Series:
Sarah’s
Gift is a series of chapter books for 7-12 year olds about a young
girl with psychic abilities, who uses them to harmlessly deal with
different life situations. Standing Up for Yourself is about how
Sarah deals with a school bully. Believing In the Magic is about how
Sarah helps a girl with telekinetic abilities use them in a good way.
There will be a book coming out every two months, with several of
them being co-authored by youngsters, the third one being one of
them.
“Standing
Up for Yourself is a gift that many parents will welcome. It helps
parents encourage a child's gift of second sight perception that is
all too often written off as ‘just your imagination’. Through the
story telling Ms. Tucci provides support for children for their
intuitive and psychic gifts. I've noticed how many more children
these days are being acknowledged rather than shamed for their
capacities to see, hear, and feel those ordinarily non-visible beings
that make their appearance known. Both you and your child will
thoroughly enjoy this story!”

Steven Farmer, author of Animal Spirit Guides, Earth Magic, and the
Children's Spirit Animal Cards
"I
am raving about the second book Believing in the Magic in the Sarah's
Book Series by author Erica Tucci. As soon as I started reading the
first few pages I couldn't put the book down. As a young child I
remember magical moments in my life. I had great intuition and was
always helping and healing friends and the creatures that God
created. Sarah's story took me back in time to my childhood. Each of
us have magical gifts that can be used for the goodness of life just
like Sarah...The mindset of positive thinking and using your gifts
for the greater good as Sarah brought out helping her friend Leila,
are belief systems we all can learn from. In this story the messages
are we are our own magic and believe in the power of thought for the
greater good...This is a book to read to your children and discuss
with them...It's a story of a compassionate friendship with a binding
of acceptance in unconditional love."

Excerpt:
Introduction Believing In the Magic
Sarah
lay in bed. She had just started reading The Girl with the Silver
Eyes by Willo Davis Roberts. Her digital clock on her nightstand read
8:30. Stifling a yawn, she turned the page to keep reading; she was
engrossed in the book and finding out more about Katie.
“Just
for the fun of it, Katie had shifted the air current then so that the
pollen drifted under his nose; when he sneezed, Pastor Grooten had to
grab for his sermon pages before they sailed off the lecturn.”
Wow!
Sarah thought. To be able to move things by just thinking about it.
How does Katie do it? But then she thought about what she was able to
do. I can talk to ghosts. I wonder if there are others out there who
have psychic abilities. I can’t be the only one! Katie was
different, like her, just in a different way. Wouldn’t it be nice
to meet someone else who was different. There have to be others like
her somewhere. Sarah wished she could meet Katie. They could be best
friends!
She
delved into the book, reading passage after passage of Katie’s
harmless pranks: making her horrible babysitter tremble at the sight
of a floating fork and creating a gust of wind that caused a door to
slam into her pesky neighbor’s face.
Sarah
understood Katie’s predicament. Katie had silver eyes and was odd
to people around her. Sarah felt the same way. Most people shied away
from her because they thought she was “cursed.”
She
was so enamored by the book that she read until her eyes became very
heavy. She remembered when she was younger how her dad would say
“Your eyes are getting heavy; you are getting sleepy, sleepy,
sleepy” when he was trying to put her to sleep. How she missed her
dad. She knew that he was okay on the other side since her
grandmother who had come to her one day told her so. She wondered if
he would come to her directly someday. It would be so nice to see him
and talk to him, even if he was in spirit and not on the earthly
plane anymore.
Turning
off her bed lamp and laying her book on her nightstand, Sarah
snuggled under her duvet and fell fast asleep. She had no problem
falling asleep; in fact, she would fall into such a deep sleep, she
would have the most vivid dreams. And that night was no different.
She
was sitting in the back seat of her mom’s car peering out the
window. The crow came up to her window and started tapping on it with
his beak. He started talking to her telepathically. “Pay attention
to the magic in the world,” he chirped. “You can create anything
you like through magic. Your thoughts are powerful!”
Sarah
woke up the next morning thinking about the dream and how she felt
that crow was trying to tell her something, but what? She had to put
it out of her mind for now since she had to get ready for school. She
would ponder over it when she got home in the afternoon.
About
the Author:
Erica
Tucci had a full life as a corporate manager of a Fortune 500
company, a healing arts business owner and an author. It all came to
a screeching halt in June 2011 when she had a stroke. During her
recovery, she gained much wisdom about what’s really important in
life. Although she was a Reiki master, massage therapist and life
coach as well as a corporate cog, she realized that her passion was
her books. Her hope now is that the messages of her books will be an
inspiration for others, young and old. Her most recent venture has
been her Sarah’s Gift series, chapter books for 7-12 year olds
about a young girl with psychic abilities, which speak to the
children with special gifts, helping them deal with different life
situations. Her other books include Moms and Their Young Spirited
Boys (1998), Anything is Possible, a novel based on a true love story
(2011), Zesty Womanhood at 40 and Beyond (2011), Radiant Survivor
(2013 - Amazon bestseller), and most recently the first book of the
Sarah’s Gift series Standing Up for Yourself (2016 - Amazon
bestseller). The second book Believing In the Magic will be available
for pre-order June 30 and is being released July 18.
