School is back in session, which means new friends, new lessons, and, of course, new magic! But every time Effie thinks she finally has this magic life down, something new pops up. Like the fact that she can listen and talk to animals. Or that, on a school trip to Coney Island, she overhears a flock of seagulls discussing a missing…mermaid?! And on top of all that, Effie is still trying to figure out if her powers make her a good witch or a bad witch…and what that means for her future.

But regardless of what kind of witch she is, Effie knows what she needs to do. With the help of her friend Garance, some talkative seagulls, and a rather helpful turtle, Effie is determined to make a splash to find this mermaid!

Posted on by Leave a comment

Effie is excited to be part of the community of witches protecting Brooklyn. But suddenly, life seems completely different. No longer the newest kid in school, Effie feels as if her friends are happy to grow their little group—although Effie herself isn’t so sure of the new girl in school. On top of that, disasters keep happening at a nearby intersection, where two mysterious statues stare at each other from across the block. And not for nothing, but learning magic is hard work!

Effie just wants to have fun being a witch, but her life in Brooklyn is about to get weird(er).

This bewitching adventure captures what it means to be a friend, and how growing up can be a little less scary if you throw some magic in the mix.
