I downloaded a free copy of this children's story from Smashwords in December 2023 and have meant to read it eversince. Thankfully, the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge is encouraging me to take a good look at the books I already have before adding more to my collection.

As always, I begin by thanking Ms Dagg for a free digital copy of her children's story book to review.

Book cover for the novel Witching Again! by Stephanie Dagg

The blurb:

Witching Again!

Cackling Carol sets out to find her dog Big Roddy and her broom.

After she was moved out of her cavern and into a flat by social workers, Carol became de-witched and forgot about her friends, so they all set off to find a new home.

But Cackling Carol realises how silly she's been and sets off after them.

Unfortunately Broom and Big Roddy bump into Egbert, the wicked blue wizard, again.

Can Carol save her friends from his evil magic?

Can she even save herself?

Children's Story

My thoughts:

Cackling Carol sets off to find her friends and discovers that they have got themselves and the rest of Cackling Carol's coven into a bit of trouble. Determined to help her friends she risks everything to save them.

Witching Again! is aimed at younger readers and, in my opinion, has just the right amount of adventure and silliness to appeal to that audience. The moral of the story comes across loud and clear.

Witching Again! is the third story in this series; De-witched and The Witch's Dog being the earlier stories.

I enjoyed this little adventure story and I think younger readers will too.
