When Molly finds out her best friend, Chloe, is moving schools, it feels like the end of the world. That's until she realises her secret paper witch, Notes, can fly letters between them.
But then Molly receives a note from Chloe that mentions her new friends and the Inter-School Spelling Championship and her bubble bursts. In retaliation, Molly enters herself into the competition. Just one tiny problem: Molly absolutely HATES spelling.
Meanwhile, Notes is up to her usual tricks and is determined to help Molly make new friends of her own. Of course, there are a few magical muddles along the way ...
Can Molly and Chloe get their relationship back on track? Will Notes succeed in her friendship mission? And who will win the dreaded Inter-School Spelling Championship?
With a vibrant, unique voice, and amazing illustrations to match, Inky Willis conjures up magic for every reader!
Scribble Witch is a fantastic series for children who are beginning to read on their own; it's heavily illustrated, very funny, and covers topics that children can relate to. I mean, apart from the magical paper witch flying around. (I'd love to relate to that, but alas...)
In this volume Molly deals with feeling jealous of her friend, worried about a public appearance, and trying to make new friends. It's all really well handled, and the cartoons really add to the story, giving it a wonderful tone. Inky does them all herself, which may help to explain why they're so perfectly integrated into the story.
I love this series. and I can't wait to see what other adventures Molly, Chloe and now her new friends have in the upcoming volumes.
This sounds like a book my nephew would quite enjoy. He loves reading and hates spelling.
