This is probably the best 'W.I.T.CH.' guide book from 2000s HarperCollins Children's Books, about life, friendships and other familial relationships. It's more interesting and fun, plus it actually mentions that the 'W.I.T.C.H.' girls are Guardians of the Veil! It remembers it's based on a fantasy series and that the five main characters are girls who are not so ordinary!
Other characters from the comic series receive a highlight as well, such as Will's mother; certain kids from the girls' school, like Martin, Uriah and the Grumper sisters, are not the only mandatory inclusions, like in the other guide books.
There was a weird part near the end about teaching kids how to save on and reduce phone bills, too.
Fun quizzes, symbols and facts, 'W.I.T.C.H. Guide to Secrets' is rather charming. It also talks about friendship groups, sharing secrets, and who you can trust and rely on. And who didn't love to keep their secret belongings and mementos in a kind of little treasure chest when they were younger? Additionally, tips on how to take care of that and keep THAT a secret too are included in this 'W.I.T.C.H.' book.
Final Score: 3.5/5
