A fun, engaging read for lovers of fantasy and magic.

Comfortingly familiar and as thirst-quenching as an icy-cold lemonade on a hot summer’s day

School’s out, and Effie is ready for summer! 
 
Too bad she’s being sent off to the wilderness for boring old summer camp. Nothing says “exciting new adventure” like being stuck in nature with mosquitoes. Sure, other witches might be there. And maybe she’ll learn some cool new magic. 
 
But Effie would rather spend time with the friends she already has. She’s always relied on them for help. . . . What will happen when she heads off to camp all by herself?
