This is an odd little book, about a reluctant evil witch, who wants to reform.



She talks about the things she wants to change, how she really wants to be a good witch, and do good things.

It was cute, but did not have a satisfactory ending. It ends with her saying she has to go on vacation.



She decides she wants to go on vacation, and that is it, game over.

I absolutely LOVE the idea behind this and thought the illustrations and page layout were amazing. I'm docking down so much because this felt really incomplete. The story just kind of randomly ends without any sort of wrap-up or conclusion. Definitely not a fan of that. I also know this is a translated work, but I felt the English translations were really stilted and could have used some revision. Overall though, I highly recommend this. I thought it was adorable and such a cute take on witches that I've never seen before.

Thank you to NetGalley and CrackBoom! Books for an advanced reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are, as always, my very own.

Des illustrations magnifiques, une bonne dose d'humour simple, mais bien dosée et une petite histoire sympathique. Léger, mais très efficace. Un bel album jeunesse!

What a delight! The children are going to love this book. The story itself was a heartwarming tale about a witch who doesnt want to be scary, and mean anymore. She wants a change of career from her devilish ways. I found the writing to be okay, but I wasn't a fan of the simple ending. On the other hand, I would honestly pick up this book for the artwork alone. The art was simply stunning, and the colors were fun and vibrant. They included a lot of small details that I know children will just love.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I truly appreciate it!

I really hope this is only a partial book, because if this is the full thing, it sucks. The story ends with no warning, which is why I think it’s a sample galley. I can not decide if this is an adult parody book, or a kids picture book. I need an ending to tell me. It goes against what most books try to preach about pretty is on the inside, and be yourself. Once again, I need the ending to form a full picture. Until I get one, this is not a great review, but that’s because the 17 pages I have read so far, are not great.
