Ana Kalaw has magic—plant magic. And so does her entire family.
The Kalaw family’s gift has thrived in Esquina, nestled in the hills of Manabu in Batangas, long before Ana was born. Moving to this quiet place at the onset of the pandemic, Ana feels an undeniable deep sense of belonging. But lately, her magic has been acting up in the strangest ways. Once, it caused mangoes to fly through the air. On another day, it may have caused Bas Lozano, a boy she once secretly had a crush on, to fall asleep beneath the banaba trees—almost as if her magic had called him there.
Bas doesn’t remember falling asleep under those trees, but he does remember Ana. Fascinated by the greenhouse locked away mysteriously in Esquina, he is even more drawn to her.
Ana doesn’t have a spellbook to guide her through the strange connection between her and Bas—and she’s not sure one even exists. But she’s learning to trust where her magic—and her heart—will take her now that she’s finally home.

FAQs
Where do you ship from?
We ship from two locations, Manila and New Jersey. Your books are always sent from wherever they are currently in stock. If an order includes books from both locations, we usually combine everything into one shipment to reduce packing waste. If you would prefer items to be sent separately, just let us know. We are happy to accommodate.
You can read our shipping policy here.
What are your shipping options?
For books shipping from New Jersey, we offer USPS Media Mail, USPS Ground Advantage, and USPS Priority Mail. For non US addresses, we ship via DHL.
For books shipping from Manila to the US, you can choose between two options.
Express: Your book ships directly to you via DHL. This is the fastest option.
No Rush: Your book is included in our regular shipment from Manila to NJ. Once it arrives in NJ, we ship it to you right away via USPS. This option takes longer but helps keep shipping costs lower.
For non US addresses, we ship via the Express option.

How can I reduce my shipping fee?
One important thing to know is that we do not make any profit on shipping. We simply charge what our couriers charge us. Because we ship in bulk, we often receive discounted rates, and we pass those savings directly on to you. Our goal is always to get your books to you as affordably and responsibly as possible.
If you are ever unsure which option to choose, or if timing matters for a specific order, please reach out. We're happy to help.
What is your return policy?
If you are not satisfied with your purchase, we will be pleased to issue store credit within 14 days of order fulfillment.
- Sale items and gift cards are final sale.
- We do not give refunds except in cases where we have made an error. If we made a mistake, we will rectify the error and refund reasonable return shipping expenses you incur.
- If you wish to cancel your online order for any reason, you will receive store credit, not a refund.

Can you help me find books not offered in your shop?
We offer a free book search service. Give us the details of the book (title, author, publisher, year) and we will look for it for you. If we find it, we will give you a quote so you can decide whether to move forward or not. There is no obligation to make the purchase.
