This book was so much fun to read! It was exactly what I needed to read to get into my Fall-Halloween mood as well as cheer me up on a hard day. This book is a wonderful easy adult read yet also would be perfect for Upper Elementary and Middle School students! Beyond being warm, exciting, and magical, it also has an endearing theme that we all need to be reminded of from time to time. That we are all worthwhile just as we are and that what we do matters in whatever manner we do it as long as we try.

The Main Female Character in the book is Mitsi Blunderlock. Mitsi has just graduated from Gloombubble Academy and she lives in Gloombubble Hollow with her parents Barnaby and Matilda. Mitsi is young and like many who have just graduated she is unsure of where she is going to fit in the world. She is insecure, and more than a bit jealous of her perfect sister Parsnabeth. Yet should she be jealous of Parsnips (as Mitsi calls her)? Is Parsnips really better than her? Adding to Mitsi’s insecurity is the fact that as a recently graduated witch she can’t even fly. YES! A WITCH THAT CAN’T FLY! Her poor sad replacement broom is sulking in the corner right now (replacement as the first one got trashed in the crash that made Mitsi’s nose and hat crooked).

Yet while Mitsi suffers fears and insecurities, she is wholly genuine and loving. Add to that a slightly eccentric father and a loving mother, and she has a lot going for her. Yet what is she to do? What is her path in this magical wonderous world? Mitsi is stuck at home with her insecurities. However, when the tea leaves scream out in her mother’s cup to “GO!”, she does just that! She packs and leaves with no clear idea where she is going.

What follows is a truly magical journey where she lands in Marivell. There she meets so many new friends who accept her for who she is and help her in her journey to self-acceptance. From the Opassum baker, to the senior Werewolf, even some mice, ghosts, and more, Mitsi learns and grows. In time she realizes that she loves being in a service oriented job and opens up ‘The Cozy Cauldron Cab Co.’ with the help from her family and new friends. Yet the path to adulthood and self-acceptance is not easy.

Read this fantastically magical book when it comes out 10/6/2026 for yourself and with your children! I guarantee you will fall in love with Marivell, Mitsi and all the magic in this Fall-Halloween vibes book!
