Student Book Review : B Magical - The Runaway Spell




B Magical-The Runaway Spell     By: Lexi Connor
       Have you ever been a witch, doing spells? Probably not, but this is exactly the case with our beginner witch in this fantastic M-A-G-I-C-A-L book. All of her spells rely on her spelling of the words, even if one letter gets mixed up that’s it, anything can happen, SERIOUSLY anything.
          In this fiction book we meet our protagonist Beatrix (also called “B” by her friends.)When B’s best friend, George, gets to know about the magical powers she has about which no one should know ,he turns out to be very stubborn about them. Soon George has a soccer match later in that week and he wants Beatrix to make him play like his favorite soccer player, La Zebra Italiana. But when Beatrix tries to, something gets messed up, George doesn’t look like himself anymore or his favorite soccer player he looks like ………..half-human, half-zebra! It will take a hint of magic to solve this spell!
         My favorite part of the book was when B turns George into half-human and half-zebra, because at this point of the story it kind of built some suspense. I was tempted to turn the page to know what’s going to happen next. I can relate to Beatrix because sometimes when I mess up one tiny thing, everything gets messed up!  
          Now comes my rating, so I would rate this book 4 out of 5.The reason I gave that rating is because although this book flowed very smoothly from event-to-event, I would’ve liked some more detail in the climax. This book did have some twists and turns, which was very exciting. Also this book was a great page-turner, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes some bumps along the way. I loved this book, and I hope you will too! Have fun reading!
