Everyone is already the spell of this funny series from Kaye Umansky…
‘Umansky is one of our most delightful comic writers. Read aloud and chortle together…’ The Sunday Times ‘A Bewitching tale, charmingly told and is certain to delight any witch in the making’ M.G, Leonard, award-winning author of Beetle Boy ‘A gorgeous story that bubbles with charm, wit and magic’ Abi Elphinstone, author of Sky Song ‘Bursting with memorable characters, a huge sense of fun and a big dollop of honey, flowers and strawberry-scented magic!’ Joe Berger, author of Lyttle Lies and Hubble Bubble ‘A sulky raven, a grubby dog and a common-sense heroine with a strong sense of customer service. This is a funny, magical treat!’ Holly Webb, author of Lost in the Snow It’s summertime in Smallbridge, but, as always, nothing exciting is happening. Smallbridge doesn’t do excitement. They do gossip, though. And now Elsie Pickles is the subject of the gossip as rumours spring up about her new magic skills … Things aren’t helped when Magenta Sharp, bored of running her mail-order service, Spells on Tap, opens up a pop-up magic shop next to Pickles’ Emporium. Soon the town is overrun with witches, much to the annoyance of the magic-hating people of Smallbridge! But maybe a little bit of magic is just the thing Smallbridge needs?Reviews
My favourite character is called sylphine because she made one of the shops explode.

It was a funny book, the characters were mostly kind. In the end there was harmony.

A good book and a great book to read. It has a great moral of how you shouldn’t always try and make things happen quicker by taking a shortcut and you should take the time to think about what you’re doing.

I think this book is about to not give up and do it by hiding the truth.

This book is the 3rd book in the Witch for a week series. I liked how Elsie is beginning to become a witch a how Magenta sets up a shop in Smallbridge where Elsie lives. The descriptions of the shop makes you really imagine what a witch's shop might be like. Recommend to anyone 7 or over.
Queen Honeycomb Pinkerton 20.09.2020
I really liked this book and i think my favourite character is Elsie pickles. I think my favourite part was when all the witches start arriving beacause it turns into chaos! I think I will read the other books in the series and I definitely recommend this book

i loved it when Magenta Sharp suddenly appeared in the town of Small-bridge and built a magic shop much to the disapproval of the people of Small bridge. Except one girl called Elsie who had visited Magenta at the tower in the woods so she knows that Magenta is good. But nobody knows what uncontrollable magic had been lurking at the bottom of the desk at Magenta Sharps shop!

I liked this book because it was funny and magical. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fiction about witches and magic
Queen Mildred Unicycle 18.08.2020
Amazing Hilarious and very good book.
General Iguana Eragon 11.08.2020
This book was not as exciting as the other books. I would recommend this but only because its part of a series and you need to know what happens to read the next book.
Professor Gloriana Peanut-butter 03.08.2020
I think this book is very good. A girl is friends with a witch and that witch happens to start living in the city of humans and starts a shop. This story includes crowds of witches coming in the end! I liked the mayor the most. He seemed so frightened to say something to a witch! I would recommend this to someone else.
Major Slide Moonbeam 30.07.2020
I thought this book was full of magic and was a little like a fairy tale. My favourite character was Elsie,because,she learns and teaches people do always to the right thing,the whole way,not taking shortcuts all the time. I would recommend this to many people who like fiction books+magic.
Mademoiselle Agnetha Shortbread 27.07.2020
Interesting, but could be more exciting- it was kinda dull and for a quite big book, not a lot of events happened. But it is part of a series and the first book was great :D
