MY THOUGHTS 4 OUT OF 5 FLEURS DE LIS

OMG… Am I A Witch?! by Talia Aikens-Nunez

Super cute, quick chapter book about a young girl who suddenly learns she has witchy powers–because she accidentally turned her brother into a dog!

April Appleton and her friends Grace and Eve must do everything they can to try to turn her brother back into a human before her parents find out what’s really going on.

I think elementary and lower middle grade readers will adore this book. It’s only 150 pages long, and consists of short, non-intimidating chapters. Each chapter ends in a sort of suspenseful way, and I know that will keep pages turning quickly.

As an adult, I read this in one sitting and found it very sweet. There were only a couple of things I wished the book would have included: April’s age, and how she came to get her witch powers. Maybe there will be more April Appleton books to explain this?

There were several funny moments that I know will have younger readers cracking up, such as April trying to keep her doggy brother from peeing in her backpack, and the yucky potion she has to drink! All in all I thought this was a nice middle grade endeavor, and I would definitely read more from this author.
