Reviews

[Liam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second Grace-Ella story, though it's the first I've read. Grace-Ella is a young girl who's found out that she's actually a witch, and in this story she goes off to witch camp to try and earn her Spells for Beginners certificate.

At camp she makes new friends, learns new magic and gets into all sorts of bother. The story has lovely messages there about the importance of helping people, supporting each other, and about self belief and confidence too.

It's lower middle grade, suitable for young readers, with lovely illustrations by Adrianna J Puglisi throughout.
