“A very fun fantasy story starring a young girl who discovers she is from a line of witches. She then needs to save a fairy world and her family from a mysterious theft and evil plotting. She comes out with shinning colors and learns her strength. A great read for tween/young adult.

A little magic was a good read for the die-hard para reader. First off, you can't not love a book with a smart mouthed cat as a main character of the story, especially when it comes to bath time! The cover almost made me avert my eyes from the book but I am glad that I did not after the read. The only problem that I had was the mother's complete lack of feeling toward what her daughter was going through with all that was happening and the changes being put upon her. Otherwise 4 out of 5 stars (Change that silly cover and you get 4.5!)… (more)

I really enjoyed this book.It reminded me a bit of kim harrison's series but written for a younger group.I read the book in almost one sitting it had me hooked from the first few pages.I dont want to give any spoilers.The book is simply a fun read it really was.I loved the sarcastic twist to alot of the lines it made me laugh out loud a few times.I really hope the author writes another book after this one with what happens next to the family.I would read it in a heartbeat.I would also like to say I love the cover design for the book the colors are amazing.I would recomend this book to anyone the likes a little magic in thier life.This book has witches and fairies and a cat with an attitude whats not to like.… (more)

Author's privilege. I love this book, and the story, which I think would appeal to anybody who loves YA, who loves a brave heroine, who loves a bit of paranormal in their stories, a bit of humor, a bit of adventure, and a sarcastic cat.

This is a comment that I copied from an irish dance chat board:

Downloaded this today. Very quick and enjoyable read. The main character is a step dancer, but Irish dance does not play a large part in the story. All in all, I would recommend this book as it has good character development, a nicely - thought out plot and I love Snowball the cat. (NT) -- Avid Reader., 27/12/11 2:05:37, Tue… (more)
