What I learned from this book: Change can be hard, but it is sometimes for the better.

Description of the book: Maggie Sparks does NOT want to go to a new school! Especially not one with mean students and a teacher she is sure is a VAMPIRE. But Maggie has no choice. When their school gets closed down, she and Arthur are forced to go to Peregrine Primary. Thankfully, Maggie's a super powerful, super smart, super talented witch. Maggie plans to use her powers to get out of going to the nightmare new school – one way or another. All she needs is a little magic …

How this book made me feel: Maggie Sparks is a secret witch, just like her family, but at the same time she is cheeky and doesn't always listen to her parents when they forbid her using magic. That gets her into funny situations, but not without consequences. 🙂 In this book Maggie has to change schools, and she really doesn't want that. Magic gets her into trouble again and she has to stand up to bullying to protect herself and her best friend Alfie. It has plenty of illustrations and his book is a very enjoyable read. Do give it a go and I hope you will like it as much as I did. 😉
Thank you for your time! ❤
