Booklist - 07/01/2020 After Effie, recently orphaned, is left at the suburban home of her two estranged, elderly aunts, she wants nothing to do with them. A little compassion, humor, and quiet magic soon win her over, though, and after settling in and making friends at her new school, Effie’s own latent powers manifest, leading to the discovery that she, like her aunts, is a witch. When Tily Shoo, a Taylor Swiftesque pop megastar, comes to them in need of a magical skincare remedy, it takes the charm and skill of all three witches to save the diva’s day. In her graphic novel debut, Escabasse establishes a wonderfully cozy suburban fantasy, rooted largely in the crabby spunk and sly magic of Effie’s lovable aunts. Slightly exaggerated character features—and brisk pacing—lighten the tone considerably, with bold linework, soft pastels, and dynamic lettering contributing to a distinctly appealing style. A charming middle-grade take on Sabrina the Teenage Witch that only scratches the surface of this new series’ enormous potential. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
