APPEALS TO: SOME

Crimson Twill is ready for her full-sized wand - if she can pass her class today and demonstrate her capability in front of a large audience. While she is excited to be in class with her best friends, a new girl - the famous Broadway star Miserabella Portenia has also joined, and Crimson’s friends seem more interested in Miserabella than in Crimson. A little jealousy can go a long way to thwart her efforts - plus each of Crimson’s tries at a spell seems slightly nicer(?) than the others. 

If you have beginning readers who enjoy witchy books, but not books that are scary, Crimson is a cute option. Look here if you need to update some of your chapter books.
