Witches of Brooklyn: Spell of a Time by Sophie Escabasse

School is back in session, and that means new friends, new lessons, and NEW MAGIC! Readers and reviewers are seeing stars for this smash-hit graphic novel series that is just the right mix of sweet and spooky!

A trip to Coney Island to pick up trash goes sideways when Effie and Garance learn that there is a missing…mermaid?! Every time Effie thinks she finally has this magic life down, something new pops up! But this time, with the help of Garance, some talkative seagulls, and a rather helpful turtle, Effie is going to save the day and find this mermaid! 

“Charming beyond belief.” –Entertainment Weekly
