Diary Of a Wickedly Cool Witch: Bullies and Baddies
Lily is just like any other 12 year old girl in the seventh grade. She has a typical suburban family with a crazy Mom who has stupid rules, a dad who always has to be funny, even though he’s not; a big, dopey brother who is the world’s worst pain in the neck, and a cute baby brother who does nothing but poop all day.
Life would be pretty normal for Lily if it wasn’t for one small difference. She’s a witch! But no-one is allowed to know that minor detail. She’s not one of the evil, grotesque witches who strive to turn populations into wart infested toads and children into ants. Lily is a good witch who finds herself on a mercy mission everywhere she goes. She encounters all sorts of life-saving situations from saving people from their death, from accidents, even from themselves.
In the first of the series, Lily has to save another girl (Kaitlyn) from the school’s meanest bullies. But helping Kaitlyn means giving up her chances of getting on the cheerleading team. But it's not all disastrous, as along the way she makes a new friend and maybe even discovers that boys aren’t so bad after all.

***Rated by my daughter***
I would have rated the book 2 stars. I think my baby girl is a little too generous with her stars :/

Lily is a headstrong teenage witch who stands up to the school's meanest bullies: cheerleaders. Can she save her classmates from bullying all while trying to deal with a cute boy or will it all end in embarrassing fashion? In the same vein as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, this middle grade book puts a fun spin on dealing with bullies, standing up for yourself and hanging out with friends. I loved it and can't wait to read more in the series!

With my TBReviewed pile waiting only to receive the books I’ve won from the various giveaways I’m continuously entering, so I decided to peruse the various free downloads being offered on Amazon, and I’m pleased that I chose this as it didn’t disappoint me.
Anyone who reads this book MUST keep in mind that it’s not written like a regular book with defined dialogues and narratives; but instead it’s diary-based with the writings of a young girl’s trials and tribulations and her “secret” inner thoughts regarding them, which is why you’ll find explanations of things in the storyline throughout the book. Mothers should try to remember what they wrote in their diaries, if they had one.
While Lily [short for Lilymandra] appears to all who see her as being a cute little 12 year-old, blonde-haired girl with freckles, she is in reality a 286 year-old witch. Lily has the power to “physically” step into a friend’s shoes so she could be with a boy she likes, a boy her friend Krystal once had as a boyfriend. How many of you reading this wished you could have done that when you were young?
Lily knows what is right and what is wrong. So when she sees Tiffany, one of the school’s bad girl bullying her friend, Lily steps in, using her powers to tell the truth regarding another student while at the same time embarrassing herself. And in doing so the teaches about bullying, why it’s bad as well as what can/should be done to stop it.
The well-written storyline makes for a humorous/informative reading experience for girls between the ages about 9 – 13, and those who are still young at heart, which is why I’ve given Ms. Cullen and her book 5 STARS.
NOTE: A handful of words/terms uses the British spelling.

A fun book about witches among us
This was a great little book about the struggles of middle school life. It was an interesting take on standing up against bullies and how nice it would be to have a little magic.

A pre-teen book about a witch that lives in modern- day middle school with her family that has no idea she's a witch.
Great messages about being yourself.
Too much bathroom humor. That is more suited for boys than girls.
The author uses the phrase "like my mom says" too many times.

Only three stars.
It's not a book at all its someone's diary no characters just some one putting words on paper and it makes no sense.

I thought this was going to be like Sabrina, the teenage witch, but this wasn’t like that at all.
Lily is a 286-year old teen witch. Odd, isn’t it?
She’s a 7th grader that blathers on and on about the kids at her school. It’s her diary, basically, which coincides with the title of this series. Normally, diaries would be interesting, but, in this one, however, we go back and forth between past and present. We go back to entries from the 1800’s for god sakes!
And, yes, she has powers and used them to play tricks, which was a little lame. There were also too many kids that I didn’t really care about.
All in all, story was cute but silly. It was definitely not what I anticipated and I surely will not continue the series.

If you have teenage daughters or granddaughters, this is the book to grab them. Readers get to meet Lily who looks twelve, but is actually a 286 year old witch. Lily has a special purpose and ability, but a hard time trying to do what she is supposed to. In this books she is tying to help Kaitlyn and finding out a lot about how others act. The book is silly, fun and also takes younger readers into a great story.

An interesting book, but an bit juvenile for me.

A sassy and energetic girl named, Lily, scrambles her way through the mazes of middle school as she battles with doing what she wants or helping another. Adding to the intrigue of this story is the fact that Lily is a 286-year-old witch, which leads to very interesting storytelling. Nice read!

This is not a stand alone book. You need to read the first book to understand the main character.
Great positive messages about being true to yourself.
