Witches of Brooklyn: Spell of a Time - by Sophie Escabasse

About the Book

On a trip to Coney Island to pick up trash, Effie and Garance meet a mermaid and help her find her missing sister.

Book Synopsis

A tween witch-in-training navigates the highs and lows of growing up in this bestselling graphic novel series that's "charming beyond belief" (Entertainment Weekly)! This time, Effie and her fellow witch-in-training Garance must find and rescue a missing mermaid.

School is back in session, which means new friends, new lessons, and, of course, new magic! But every time Effie thinks she finally has this magic life down, something new pops up. Like the fact that she can listen and talk to animals. Or that, on a school trip to Coney Island, she overhears a flock of seagulls discussing a missing...mermaid?! And on top of all that, Effie is still trying to figure out if her powers make her a good witch or a bad witch...and what that means for her future.

But regardless of what kind of witch she is, Effie knows what she needs to do. With the help of her friend Garance, some talkative seagulls, and a rather helpful turtle, Effie is determined to make a splash to find this mermaid!

Don't miss out on the Witches of Brooklyn graphic novel series, which continues to grow along with our favorite witch, Effie! Look for them all:
