Magenta clearly thought her sister was annoying because she told Elsie she might be back in a few days from her sister's home

It is a good book but I think it was a bit dull. If there had been a bit more action than it would have been a great book. I would recommend this book to people who like magical books.

I loved this awesome fictional, and magical, book. My favourite character was Magenta Sharp because she was very nice and she knew everything even if no one told her. She had a completely magical tower with books full of spells, just like books that were in Harry Potter. I would recommend it to people who love fictional, magical, funny and hectic books.

I liked the witch the best! I’m glad I don’t live in the boring village! Good build up to the fun parts.

I liked this book because it's about a little girl called Elsie Pickles who gets taken on a magical adventure and finds herself caretaker of a witch's house. Whilst doing all of this she learns all kinds of magic including helping Syphine Greenmantle who dresses like a wood sprite. I won't give any more away because you just have to read this book . My favourite character was Corbett the black bird because at first he seems really grumpy but in the end he helps Elsie out with her magic. I would recommend this book to someone who likes magic, adventures and fun.

I really like this book as it was entertaining. The story is about a girl who looks after a castle for a week. She learns how to do 3 spells, she makes friends and has adventures My favourite character in the book was Magenta the Scarlet Witch. I would recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the other books

It's all about witches and it's funny.

I really liked this book because it was about a girl named Elsie who would do anything to help her family. She was a hard- working, diligent girl who had wanted to be a caretaker for a witch called Magenta Sharp.Magenta had a magical tower, a talking raven and lots of books to read which was exactly what Elsie liked. When Elsie heard that she would get paid 21 gold pieces to take care of the witch’s belongings for a week, she realised how much her family needed the money and decided that she would take the job. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes magic.
