This is such a fun read. Perfect if you're looking for a magic school story, and the author's website let's you take a quiz to sort yourself into your coven house. I loved the characters so much, and I was super invested in the story. It touches on light things like fun magic and spells as well as heavier topics like classism/caste systems and abuse, and it never feels heavy handed or preachy. I can't wait to booktalk this to our middle school readers!
