About This Book

The crackle of magic fills the air, mingling with the scent of autumn leaves and the crisp chill of a new school year. Prudence steps onto the cheering squad, her heart pounding as she hides her mortal ways from the other witches. But when the irresistible Angelo next door appears, her carefully cast spells start to unravel in the most surprising way.

Quick Assessment

This middle-grade novel follows Prudence, a girl with no magic who is enrolled in a witch school to learn enchantment. As she struggles to fit in and keep her mortal identity a secret, she faces typical adolescent challenges like friendships, school, and first crushes. Appropriate for ages 9-12, it contains themes of self-discovery, peer pressure, and young romance without intense content.
