Nicholas Christopher's Veronica is the second book of his I've read. Like some other novels I've quite liked, it's one of those books where things are set in the everyday world and then weird things happen. I guess that's essentially what magical realism is, but for some reason I've never quite felt comfortable applying the term to books set in the U.S. perhaps because the Latin American settings I normally associate with it already appear a bit magical to me.

The only other book of Christopher's that I've read is Franklin Flyer which I think I liked better than this one.
