Witches of Brooklyn: What the Hex?! by Sophie Escabasse. GRAPHIC NOVEL. RH Graphic (Random House), 2021. $13. 9780593119303.
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Effie is a young witch living in Brooklyn. Her first book was about discovering her magic and seeing the good witches can do, and the positive lessons continue in the sequel. Effie struggles with friendship issues when her best friend is suddenly enamored with a new kid at school and leaves Effie feeling left out. At the same time, Effie and her fellow witches are focused on troubles affecting a corner of 6th Avenue. The two pieces of the story will come together as Effie makes new friends, discovers even more witches in Brooklyn!, and learns the difficult but important lessons on talking things out.
This is a fantastic graphic novel for middle grade readers. I loved the first book and the sequel might be even better! The illustrations are really well done and the story has a wonderfully positive and fun message. I highly recommend this one for all readers.
