Booklist - 12/01/2024 Second grade is business as usual for Lucy Lancaster until “a big, loud hiccup” and tingly toes signal the awakening of the Brewster Elementary student’s magical powers. Lucy’s paired with contrarian classmate Bryce for a science project, though she’d much rather work with besties Heidi or Bruce. After a series of school day incidents when Lucy’s wishes suddenly come true, librarian Ms. Egli clues Lucy in: magic has chosen Lucy, and a golden library card grants Lucy access to the Magical Library, where she can learn about her new witch magic.” Lucy’s sweet perspective on controlling what you can (like your first spell) and rolling with the rest lends a gentle social-emotional learning lesson to this series starter. Short chapters, a large font size with generous spacing and margins, simple vocabulary, and black-and-white cartoon artwork on every spread all suit new readers, and fans of the Heidi Heckelbeck series will particularly relish kindhearted Lucy’s story line. Books are magic, and Lucy’s hiccups surely won’t spell trouble for long! - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
