Ok first book review in a while. I read this book in a day, that being said this book is intended young readers in sixth grade. I'll write my bottomline first then a more detailed review for those who don't mind spoilers.
Bottomline: I love the message and the idea behind it but reading this was like talking to my 5 year old with ADHD. There were a lot of tangents I think would make it hard for young readers to follow the story line. I tried reading the first chapter to my daughter and she couldn't sit through it. She is younger than the recommended age though.
So what is the story about?
Evie Everyday, that is her name and you are reminded VERY often of this, is a witch who so desperately want to be "normal". She wants to be normal so bad she misses the fact that the whole town is under and evil spell. Every little quirk is overly explained multiple times making the book a little annoying but again it's intended for sixth graders. The story itself is cute and funny when you ignore the repetition. The idea is adorable and the message is great I just wish it was a little better organized.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
