A fun series about magic and having different strengths and struggles.
The first book in the series for elementary readers.

Great start to a new series with a heartfelt story for young readers to connect with and interspersed with fun illustrations full of emotion

Anxiety Alert! Poor Rose is under so much pressure to do well on her test. Sorrowful Lav is lonely and just wants to fit in. Dejected Amethyst just wants to please her mother. The struggles are real and the author does a fantastic job of making the characters highly relatable. I just wanted to hug each of them and tell them it would be okay. The cute comics sprinkled throughout the book make it an even better read. Love the format! The events that transpire, both good and bad, keep the reader on their toes and waiting for the next magical experience. This is a great middle-school read. I’d definitely read more by this author.

This was a great start to the School for Unusual Magic series, it had a great fantasy element to it and was able to introduce us to the world and characters perfectly. I enjoyed getting to know the character and how well they worked overall. It left me wanting more in this series and from the author.
