Poor Little Witch Girl

(2) 4-6 Translated by Gillian Rosner. This good-natured story, told by four narrators, begins and ends with the mother's point of view, but eleven-year-old Verbena is always the focus. Verbena longs for a normal life, which is hard when you come from a line of spell-brewing witches. With its likable characters, this French import charts familiar mother/daughter territory; potions and spells exist companionably with the novel's more realistic elements.
