Diary of an Accidental Witch: 1

Product Information

Alongside this, I love the interaction between Bea and the other characters - both nice and naughty! She has to navigate friendships and there are many interesting dynamics among the pupils. Again, these reflect how some children may feel themselves and enable conversation to happen within a safe classroom environment. Diary of an Accidental Witch is well written, with a good flow to the story allowing children to feel completely immersed in the story. It is a good story for developing readers, as the layout and style helps newly independent readers to feel comfortable. Bea is a likeable character who children will be able to resonate with as she joins a new school and has to overcome her worries. It's a good conversation opener to how children might feel at school, as well as how we can find solutions to the problems they may have. Can we please just not have mean girls (or boys) in stories? I am just tired of the Blairs in books. There are really adorable illustrations throughout the book that bring out the comedy in the story!

Meet Bea, a normal average girl… until she is accepted in witch school! What will this girl do next? The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... Unfortunately, however, Bea's dad makes a mistake, enrolling her in the School of Extraordinary Arts! The story follows Bea's plight to fit in somewhere she was never designed to be, where she finds support in the oddest of places and learns that sometimes what you were certain you knew was so far from the truth they aren't recognisable. Including the things you were certain you knew about yourself.

Bea is absolutely convinced that she definitely does not belong at witch school but with the Halloween Ball getting ever closer, showing just the slightest bit of magical spark would be really useful. Will Bea be able to find her inner witch or is she just a perfect toadbrain… I really enjoyed this book and am trying to figure out how I can enrol myself in this school. Beside the whole witch thing and the opportunity to perfect spells, I’m always in favour of having legitimate excuses to wear a cape. I absolutely LOVED that this book was written as a diary, it just made it all even more fun and made me connect with Bea more. Harry Potter meets Diary of a Wimpy Kid… I really enjoyed reading this one! This spellbinding adventure is full of humour and it will not fail to impress.Bea is an incredibly likeable young girl who is coping with some of the usual worries about settling in to secondary school like whether she will fit in or make friends which is sure to offer support to young readers feeling the same whether they are going to another school or starting in a new class. Bea also shows a great deal of resilience as she works hard to practice her witch skills, sometimes with unexpected consequences. Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments This first book in the series felt incomplete because it just ends with nothing resolved. The story arc suddenly stops at the top of the arc with all these loose ends hanging off. It's very awkward. All the open questions about Bea, her rivalries with classmates, and upcoming events that are hinted at in the first book are all resolved in the second book. It would make a lot more sense to have the first and second books of the series published as one book. I don't know what editor decided to cut this story in half, but it was a poor decision.
