Miss Ellicott's School for the Magically Minded
Miss Ellicott's School for the Magically Minded | Sage Blackwood
18 posts | 11 read | 20 to read
From the author of the acclaimed Jinx trilogy comes a spellbinding fantasy, perfect for fans of The School for Good and Evil, about a young heroine fighting to save a world that would dare to tame her. Chantel would much rather focus on her magic than on curtsying, which is why she often finds herself in trouble at Miss Ellicotts School for Magical Maidens. But when Miss Ellicott mysteriously disappears along with all the other sorceresses in the city, Chantels behavior becomes the least of her problems. Without any magic protecting the city, it is up to Chantel and her friends to save the Kingdom. On a dangerous mission, Chantel will discover a cross-wielding boy, a dragon, and a new, fiery magic that burns inside herbut can she find the sorceresses and transform Lightning Pass into the city it was meant to be?

I‘m still thinking about this one, so I‘ll hold off on a rating.

+ some diversity (just MC, and mostly it‘s subtle), good dragon, girls saving the world, making tough decisions for the good of the many
- little explanation for the political situation, didn‘t really understand the sorceresses and their stance, think the title doesn‘t quite match the story

Overall this was a quick, interesting read, but not sure how to rate it.

So far I like Chantel, and can totally identify with her. I have a Look, too, and I sooooo badly want to say things.

This started off slow, gained steam, and ended up rocking my midde grade loving heart.

5 stars.

I really enjoyed the message in the book about openness and the value of going outside your comfort zone.

Woot, we have moved, and are mostly unpacked where we are currently staying. Time to see if this brain can finally focus on reading.

I think this was the book I went on book depository to buy... before falling down a list of recommendations 🤔

Set in a school that teaches deportment and magic ☺️ sign me up!

Fantastic! Chantel, like all the girls at Miss Ellicott's school, is expected to be meek and polite but decides that fighting against the selfish King and the corrupt patriarchs is more important than deportment. The writing is witty and clever.

I dozed off while reading and woke up to find the cat using my arm as a pillow, which was cute until she gave me a disgruntled look for disturbing her sleep to take a picture. She got over it, though, and settled into a more comfortable napping position. 😴

Chantel did not like to deport ... Sometimes she couldn't help giving people a Look. Because sometimes, people deserved it. 😀

A lovely middle grade fantasy, about friendship, finding your power, and dragons. (I am pro-🐉) #middlegrade #fantasy #dragons

Magic. A dragon. And tween girls sticking it to the patriarchy. Does it get any better?

meichner87 Ah, I forgot to email the HC lady! 8y
brandymuses I can send this to you if you want. 8y
brandymuses @meichner87 Just realized I didn't tag you in above so you probably didn't see it. 8y
meichner87 @brandymuses No worries. I might try emailing her first to see. 8y
