I loved the diary-entry style of this story which will appeal to lots of young readers with its use of bold and capital letters, crossing outs, lists and footnotes. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and complement the humour and charm of this story perfectly. 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.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 loved the way that Bea struggles so much to fit in, and everything at the witch school is so strange and weird to her. We all feel like that sometimes. She also feels really inadequate with her school work because she can't do magic. But I loved how her teachers encourage her and she begins to discover that she does have certain skills. I was immediately transported into Bea's world, where she is surrounded by mystery and magic. The story, told from Bea's point of view, is thoroughly entertaining and I can imagine children in classrooms from Year 2+ enjoying this as a class read, where they can discuss Bea's mishaps after they finish laughing!

I loved seeing Bea make friends. She already had one, a guy from next door who I liked but at other times found a bit judgmental, but with Witch School she makes more. I loved the look of the cover of this book, and the concept was appealing, so I decided to give it a go. Hubble, bubble and a cauldron lot of light-hearted and laugh-out-loud trouble. Perfect for fans of Amelia Fang and Witch Wars.Step aside Hogwarts, there’s a new magical school in town and I definitely want to attend…where can I enrol? Now, that’s a big statement from someone who is obsessed with everything HP. Diary of an Accidental Witch is the first in a four book series of magical mis-adventures from mother and daughter, Honor and Perdita Cargill, starring an ordinary girl (at least she thinks she is ordinary) who finds herself living and learning in a town that is far from normal. If this first diary is a sign of things to come then the Cargill’s have the perfect concoction of story-writing ingredients for a series that will become a firm favourite with young readers. Meet Bea, a normal average girl… until she is accepted in witch school! What will this girl do next? Not only she is a very lovable character, but learning about her feelings, how she faces the situations she sees herself in and how much she cares for her family and friends, will make you want to be her friend!

The illustrations in this book were just a pure delight! They were cute and fun and I loved how the characters were drawn.

I can recommend that it will be a series worth following. There are some unanswered questions I have that might get answered in the future. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Now the humans need his... But with the Halloween Ball on the horizon, will she be able to master her wand skills in time to WOW? And more importantly can she keep her newfound magical abilities a secret from dad?

I really loved the cute writing style! The diary structure is fun and the writing is hilarious! I enjoyed how descriptive the writing is. You can really imagine the whole magical setting of the school. The school does have some inspiration from Harry Potter, but with a fresh imaginative spin on elements like magical sports played on a broom, toad class pets, and using wand spells.The School of Extraordinary Arts may sounds quite normal. In fact, it is a Witch School! Bea has arrived there by accident just because her father enrolled her at it rather than Spellshire Academy – it is all quite a witchy place! As a result, Bea spends every day in a world where she is never sure exactly what will happen next…There is loads of magic, heaps of surprises and an abundance of friendship. No wonder Bea loves every minute of her time there. And readers will love her glorious adventures too. The little sketches throughout the book are just another way the author makes this book even more engaging. 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. There are really adorable illustrations throughout the book that bring out the comedy in the story!
