The Glass Witch
A Snicker of Magic meets Hocus Pocus with a touch of Dumplin' for middle-grade readers in this fast-paced, whimsical fantasy. Perfect for fans of Ghost Squad and Witch Boy.
12-year-old Adelaide Goode has never been good enough.
Ever the disappointment, she's the weakest witch born in three centuries and has absolutely zero chance-as the town's fat girl-of winning the Cranberry Hollow Halloween pageant. But winning brings glory, and glory means proving herself worthy of the Goode name, which is all Addie's ever wanted.
What she most certainly does not want, however, is to enact a curse, waking a 300-year-old witch hunter from the grave. Not to mention the curse has turned Addie's bones into glass, sprouting more and more cracks as midnight approaches-which makes it terribly hard to run in heels.
With the aid of an ancient spellbook, a monster-obsessed neighbor, and a twitchy-nosed, furry friend, Addie must hunt down three ingredients to break the curse before the hunter not only ruins the pageant, but erases magic-and her-from the town.

The Glass Witch is a charming middle grade debut that is perhaps on the scarier end of offerings in this age group, but does a good job of balancing peril with humor. It's a book that offers some much needed representation of body positivity, family complexities, and a hijab-wearing Muslim girl who is quirky and relatable.
That said, I imagine this could be polarizing for some families.
Adelaide has a fat mom who is confident and comfortable in her skin, but Adelaide doesn't feel the same. She deals with some internalized body shame that is mixed up with her feeling out of place and even unloved in her family. I appreciate the journey she goes on, but not every kid in this 8-12 range may be ready for introduction to this sort of internal body anxiety.
Adelaide doesn't know who her dad is and has been raised by a single mom who got pregnant as a teenager. We learn the identity of her dad and how it relates to her mom's complicated dating past. This shows family members with complicated feelings about whether her mom should have gotten pregnant when she did. Again, I think this represents the realities of some kids lives, but it's also on the mature end and may require conversations.
Then we have Fatima- who I adore. She's quirky and macabre, loves monsters and glitter, and is a practicing Muslim from Pakistan who wears hijab. She reminds me of a Muslim tiktoker I follow who does hijab-friendly costumes and makeup looks. (seriously she's amazing! https://www.tiktok.com/@nosi1ence ) I kind of loved the representation of a relatable Muslim character. However, for some Muslim families this book may be a no-go because it does include witches, magic, and monsters with a decidedly Muslim character.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and thought it was a spooky and heartwarming middle grade adventure. I received a copy for review from the author who I am acquaintances with, all opinions are my own.

Hocus Pocus meets Dumplin' -
Great size positive storytelling, not just for Adelaide but for other members of her family.
* fast-paced, just scary enough but not so much that it will put readers off reading.
* loved Adelaide's new BFF Fatima who is self-assured, smart and an unabashed monster lover.
Can't wait to recommend this one!

ARC REVIEW
I really enjoyed THE GLASS WITCH. The author tells a great body-positive story filled with magic, friendship and family drama. There are great Hocus Pocus style spooky vibes, brilliant decriptions which really make the world come to life, and its packed with action and heart, not to mention great representation. A really fun read with a great message of self love and self worth.

Another Scholastic published book that I genuinely cannot understand why the author forced a Muslim character to be a part of, and no it isn't just a token hijab on a character named Fatima. It mentions she goes to the mosque, there is a Quran on the book shelf, her parents don't understand her obsession with monsters, she is desi, and there is Urdu in the text as well. This isn't me just doubling down on Halloween being a pagan holiday that I'm against, this book is about witches and magic and while it does take place on Halloween, and the witches are Good(e), it is their last name, it is a weird inclusion flex for me. The book also has the Muslim grandpa crushing on the grandma witch, he even kisses her hand and they are revealed to be soul mates. There is evil possession, different men that could be the protagonists father, killing, and a pageant. The book has good qualities- positive body size messaging, focus on family love, self acceptance, and is fast paced and entertaining, but even as a parent that lets my kids read fantasy books, and books that mention Halloween, this book went too far for me. It normalizes Muslims being ok with magic, and positions the parents as being loving when they come around to accept their daughter's love of monsters, it also seems to normalize men and women relationships, and for a middle grade 224 page book I just can't support a Muslim character's role in such a story.
SYNOPSIS:
Adelaide is heading to her grandma's house with her mom, and being dropped off for three months- abandoned is more like it. The family dynamic is stressed even on a good day, and today is not a normal day. The Goode family of witches are all that remain of the witches in the town and more than three can not exist within town lines. Additionally, if at least one witch is not always in Cranberry Hollow, all the magic will be lost. Adelaide, doesn't have magic though, toss in that she is a bigger girl than most other twelve year olds, and that she never feels like she is enough, and the bees within her are buzzing.
The plan was to drop off Addie and head out of town. The neighbors, Hakeem and his granddaughter Fatima show up though, and before Candice can sneak out, she finds herself heading to the Cranberry Hollow Halloween Festival with Fatima, Addie, and her mom. The town loves the Goodes, they help crops grow better, cancer to be cured, and so much more. Of course they don't know that they are witches, but they know that they are helpful. When the time to leave arrives, Aunt Jodie stays on the other side of the town line and they prepare to say their goodbyes and keep the fourth Goode outside the imaginary line, but Addie in a last ditch attempt to make her mother notice her, pulls her mother back across and thus sets off the curse of having too many witches in the town. The hated Hern family is going to be possessed, and Addie will be hunted come midnight on Halloween.
WHY I LIKE IT:
The book is intense and scary at times, just toeing the line of what a MG reader can handle, I just don't get the Muslim character. It really seems intentional and thought out, and I would love to find out why it was a conscious choice. There is a small passage equating Addie standing out because of her size with Fatima and her hijab, but I can't imagine that is enough of a reason to have a practicing Muslim loving Monster hunter in the book. I know we want representation, but this didn't work for me, and while I know others are ok with Halloween and some with sihr in a fictional sense, having a Quran on a shelf above the book of monsters and jinn that the Nana has collected, just rubs me the wrong way. The book is published by Scholastic and will undoubtedly be in book order offerings and in book fairs, and if you are ok with it for your children, that is your choice, I just feel obligated to share my concerns so that you can decide what is best for your family.

I want to thank the author for giving me an arc paperback.
This book is pitched as Hocus Pocus meets Dumplin'
My rating: 4.5 stars
I love how this book takes place in one night, especially on Halloween - my favorite holiday. It's about Adelaide and her Goode family of witches. It's about loving who you are inside and out. It's scary but not too scary. The scale is where I'd range Hocus Pocus aka a fight against good and evil in a sense.
Adelaide is a baker and the way she compares things to recipes is one of my favorite parts. I loved all the rabbits, especially Rosie. Adelaide's neighbor/friend Fatima is a wonderful character, she's weird in all the fun ways, ready to help, and full of confidence. A friend any kid would be proud to have. There were a few terms in the book I wondered if a kid would understand, but other than that it's a great read about self-worth/self-image and family. I loved the ending, no spoilers though.
The Glass Witch comes out on October 18th, 2022 - just in time for Halloween!
P.S. I totally see this book being a movie.

In complete honesty, I was very ill the week I read this book and I don't have enough recollection of it to leave a very detailed review.
That being said, I do know that I enjoyed the characters and the whimsy and the Halloween camp that this book brought. Not only did this have allllll of my favorite mid-grade spooky vibes, I also loved the diversity of our two female protagonists and how the book itself really supports anyone who feels othered by society.
This was a fantastic Halloween read for any young reader in your life!
Though I did purchase this book myself and was not asked to review it, I am friends with the author.

I loved Addie's voice, chock full of food similes and humor. I appreciated the body positivity, diversity, and complicated family dynamics as well. The story was fast paced and action packed, even more so with the villains POV. I wanted to learn a bit more about the side characters so that I felt more for them in the story and a bit more resolution with Addie and her mom. Overall I enjoyed this book and felt it was a strong MG debut! Looking forward to reading more from Lindsay!

THE GLASS WITCH was such a fun and uplifting read! It was brimming with emotion with tons of tension that kept me turning the pages. Addie’s voice leapt off the page and the supporting characters (and rabbits) felt very developed. 4.5/5

Deliciously snarky and magical! Guaranteed to warm your heart and make you believe in the magic of family.
The Glass Witch is such a witty, clever story full of endless snark, lots of kooky magical scenes, and tons of laugh out loud moments. Loved every word of this creative, inclusive, and diverse story, which will make all us curvy gals feel seen.
It’s impossible not to fall head over heels in love with Adelaide Goode (Addie) from the first page. I read it in one sitting. Perfect, cozy way to spend a Saturday night. It was just what I needed for a fun escape. I haven’t read a middle grade book since the Hocus Pocus sequel, and it left me wondering why I don’t read it more often. It’s the perfect remedy to destress from this busy, noisy world. I can’t wait to read the next book by Lindsay Puckett, The Odds. I’ve fallen in love with her voice!
Highly recommend this book for all kids, teens, and adults wanting a cozy, cheeky read. I love Lindsay’s sense of humor. Her delightful personality shines in her books just as it does on her YouTube channel, and I could hear those snarky comments in her voice as I read.
And what a breath of fresh air the co-lead character, Fatima Tahir, was. She was definitely more than a side character. I love reading books with inclusion at all levels, representing the real world today. Just as it should be.
Lindsay excels in writing inclusive stories where her characters are culturally diverse, curvy, and represent those who often aren’t written about for some reason whether they look different than us, pray differently than we do, or struggle with conditions we often don’t understand. We need more characters like Addie Goode and Fatima Tahir because they have so much to teach us about their unique journeys. That’s the whole reason I love reading—to gain exposure to experiences different from my own. And their beautiful friendship left me with lessons I want to incorporate into my life.
Magic is alive and well, and we all deserve to tap into our own magic like Addie Goode! I’ve had a huge smile on my face since gobbling up this playful, whimsical story. Perfect book to stock school libraries with as it’s wholesome and light-hearted with lessons on how to love and accept yourself just the way you are. Kids and teens will devour it and embrace Addie and Fatima just as I did. Gave me that feeling I used to get when I curled up with a book back in middle school and set off on a magical adventure. Kudos to Lindsay for creating the perfect little town that I’m dying to visit at Halloween – Cranberry Hollow. Good thing I love cranberries!

Talk about a cozy, EXTREMELY dark (at times) Halloween middle grade adventure!! I loved how the entire story took place on Halloween night with such wholesome spooky vibes with lots of fall treats. I can definitely see this being the most perfect classic Halloween movie 100%

This book was kind of weird. I liked the diversity in the characters. I also loved the bunnies and the large role they played in the story.
I didn’t really get the background behind the curse. I felt like it wasn’t explained well. Also, I felt like the contrast between the hunter and the witches POVs in the audiobook was so stark it was odd for this MG audiobook. The hunter’s POV was really dark and hateful. Then there was the Addy and the other witches POV with always seemed so bright and bubbly regardless of the situation. 3 stars.

Ugh. I love Lindsay’s YouTube channel so I hate to rate this so low, but it was not good. First of all, this is way too dark to be for children. Possession? Her father trying to kill her? The Hunter’s point of view chapters? That’s too much. I felt distressed reading this as an adult.
Then there was little stuff that just isn’t appropriate for young children, like Candice being a teen mom, and her presumably sleeping with two guys in the same family. Addie not knowing her dad. Aunt Jodie being a smoker. Addie’s body image issues. The appearance of two dads because, you know, it’s 2022. They’re all a little too mature for this young of an audience (whom I assume to be 8-12). I know some kids face these things in their day to day lives, but this book is not protecting the innocence of kids who don’t. It introduces topics that kids should be having with their parents first.
I also took issue with the writing itself. The prose felt YA level at times, but Addie herself had the maturity of an eight-year-old. I also found all the food similes distracting and over the top.
Lastly, the characters. They felt wooden to me and not nearly developed enough. Addie’s friendship with Fatima sprung out of nowhere. The “twist” of Roy being the host and Addie’s father had no emotional impact because we hardly knew the Herns to begin with. Or Candace. Or anyone. And why was Jodie so cranky? Overall, the whole thing felt flat and thin.

The words die in my throat, and with a metaphorical shove, I bury them six feet under in a coffin so tightly chained not even the All Hallows Eve Moon can resurrect them.
I put this away about 20% in. It may build up to something, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. It started out sort of in Act 2, and I wasn’t fully into the story yet.
There was also something about the writing, but I think that may be a personal preference issue. I found myself skimming and skipping the long-winded musings of the MC.
I’ve read better structured and better written middle-grade books, so I’ll move on and look for the next one.

A wonderful body-positive story with magic, adventure, and friendship. I really enjoyed reading this one and loved that it included diverse characters. The main character feels abandoned by her mother and wishes she had more confidence in herself, her body and her powers as a witch. The author writes a beautiful story of this young persons journey to understanding herself and that she is an important part of her family. The family learns better how to support her and communicate their love. .
