Apprentice Witch
Apprentice Witch | James Nicol
A special middle grade debut of magic and courage in a world of witches, written with the charm and enchantment of Circus Mirandus and The Apothecary.Arianwyn has flunked her witch's assessment: She's doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, she may never become a real witch-- much to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma.But remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are sighted in the woods, a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town, and a mysterious magical visitor arrives with his eye on her. With every spirit banished, creature helped, and spell cast, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch--even if she's only an apprentice. But the worst still lies ahead. For a sinister darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride . . . for Arianwyn and the entire land.

Book 43🎧 3.5⭐️

A mystical YA/MG book about a young witch, Arianwyn, coming into her own power. Her first witching test didn‘t go as planned but that won‘t stop her!

Ever since she was little she has seen a strange glyph… one not taught by her elders. What could it mean?

This one is a bit odd the green cover is book 1 original. The pink cover is book 2 US ARC edition and I think international editions. I believe US print edition for book 2 and three where the yellow cover style.

Scochrane26 I like the green & pink better 5y
LibrarianRyan @Scochrane26 so do I. the yellow reminds me of the old Worst Witch books. Which may have been the attention since the Worst Witch has been a popular Netflix series. 5y

I just could not get into this one! The characters really fell flat for me and I just kept losing interest. So disappointed because I was excited to read this one.

So far I'm enjoying this upper middle-grade fantasy that feels a bit like Sabriel and a bit like 1930s Harry Potter. The #audiobook is also well narrated (not always a given). For some reason I keep picturing the characters and settings in my mind in the styles of Studio Ghibli. Anyone else get the same vibes?

Mehso-so

While I enjoyed the world, and its creatures, the characters in this one felt really stilted and underdeveloped. The relationships between the young women were cliched and one-dimensional. Maybe a good chapter book for young readers as it was relatively harmless.
