The Okay Witch by Emma SteinkellnerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thank you to NetGalley, Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing, and Aladdin for the advance reader copy of The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner, in exchange for an honest review. Middle grade readers will totally enjoy Moth Rush, an independent, honest, normal, happy girl who finds out she is a witch! But her mother, who has kept this secret, refuses to teach her or let her practice magic. While Moth struggles with her mom, she learns more about her descendants and history of turmoil. What is a girl to do when she wants to delve into magic and learn all she can about her witch history? Moth is also involved in the school play which trumpets the history of witch hunts and her burgeoning “magic” has helped her best friend capture the lead. The drawings in this graphic novel are vivid and show both worlds where Moth learns she has witch family and problems. Moth’s facial expressions are awesome and her eyes just pop with feeling, excitement, courage, and aggravation. The plot will keep readers turning those pages. Highly recommended.
