This is pretty cute. Will throw it at my niece in a couple of years with no hesitation. Fun story, and fun characters.

I thought this was charming, sweet, and fun with an interesting cast of characters. Looking forward to the next book.

A girl comes to live with her aunt, discovers she is a witch, that they are witches, and so many adventures will start.
I bumped against this book and was instantly curious about it. It is almost Halloween so I just love a good book about witches. And this one sounded adorable and I definitely would like more Effie and her aunts.
In this one Effie becomes an orphan and starts living with her eccentric (but oh so fun) aunt and her friend. At first it is all bumpy but I just loved seeing how everyone started to get together more and more. How Effie and the aunts (I will just call them both that) got closer. I loved how they took care of Effie. And how when they find out she has powers they help her. Train her. Include her. They don’t mind that she is young, she is one of them. That was really fun.
Effie’s power (at least the one we saw) was fabulous… though I can only imagine that until she learns to control it, things won’t be easy. Until then best not to be in the neighbourhood of paintings or other art with dangerous animals or things.
