Review Detail

What I liked:
For fans of the Worst Witch series, Diary of an Accidental Witch is right up your alley. We have a young witch who has some serious issues using her magic. Books open the door to exciting experiences and friendships; as we have discovered between Bea (witch) and Ash, humans can be on a dangerous path to transverse. The book is told like the previous ones in a diary format, which makes it easy for young readers to comprehend. We have the grand tournament as our central theme for this book, so Extraordinary will compete against Spellshire Academy. Who will win, and will the witches be able to stick to the rule of no magic?
Final Verdict:
I like the conversation that can be had with this series, even though we don't have friends with magic or do we know magic to hide from them. In some situations, you have a better ability than someone and end up in competition. How do you show good sportsmanship, how do you stick to the rules, and how do you maintain friendships with people who you might have to be a competitor? School competitions are a thing; we can have friends on competing teams, and there is a way to handle that.
