This MG gem is such an incredible read, filled with hope, humor, food, magic, and love! Every kid struggling to accept themselves, flaws and hidden talents alike, needs to read this story!

Liked
*Diverse witchy middle grade
*The magic school was actually fun, I usually hate school settings but this one felt like a camp
*The wands being individual to the witches 
*Family and friendship dynamics

Disliked
*The 12yos sounded like an adult writing children
*Very surface level with no moral or emotional lesson to be learned

Great original story! 

Wish we got more side characters expanded on, especially the grandmother, but it was still a very enjoyable read.
