A school tradition… but with a little magic
Despite her magic, Lucy has the same fears that many elementary school students have. Getting up in front of a class takes some courage and preparation, but Lucy does a great job. Her friends are very supportive. Since her friend Heidi is also a witch, it’s a little surprising that this fact has to be kept so hush hush. I might need to go back and read the first book in this series, Lucy Lancaster Has a Secret (2025).
I was a huge fan of Glovach’s Little Witch series when I was in elementary school, and Lucy’s magical exploits will be a big hit with fans of Malcolm’s Jewel Kingdom stories, Osborne’s Magic Treehouse books, or Chapman’s Star Friends. Now, if we could just have a book of “spells” to go along with this. I remember reading one from the public library, and found it quite a music even though I was never able to do any magic!
