Review Detail

Bea is on a trip with her school to visit a potentially haunted castle. While she's excited, she is annoyed when the teacher makes her work with Blair - a girl she doesn't like. The little witches are encouraged to work together and learn new skills. It is not an easy task for Bea and she struggles to do as the teachers want. And then of course there is the ghost in the castle...
What I liked: I enjoyed the story and Bea is a great character. I can see little girls really taking to her. The story was fun and I liked the illustrations in the book.
What left me wanting more: I thought it would be more like a book, but it consists of diary entries from Bea so the story jumps about in places, but it does come across as being written by a young girl as Bea is our narrator.
Final Verdict: A fun, entertaining read with great characters. Any kids who love magic and adventure will enjoy this book. There is also a good message in the story that it is important for kids to learn to work together, even if they don't get on.
