Summary:
For the youngest in a long line of witches, demons used to be no big deal. A spell and a quick prick of the finger, and a witch like Ber could summon a demon to do anything she needed--clean a mess, send a message, you name it. But that was before Ber was diagnosed with diabetes. Now each time she tests her blood sugar, accidental demons are slipping into the human dimension ... and causing absolute chaos.

Booklist - 09/15/2024 Bernadette comes from a line of powerful witches who use blood magic to summon demons to help with tasks, from transportation to tidying. But Ber has an unusual issue: her recent diabetes diagnosis requires frequent testing, and even tiny blood drops are enough to conjure demons. As she struggles to keep her magical abilities under wraps at school, an attempt to create a magical monitoring system goes awry and a rogue rival clan endangers her family. Ber will have to overcome long-held prejudices to rally an unlikely magical group, save her loved ones, and restore balance to her life—and to the rest of the world. The clever premise isn’t just a one-note joke; it’s the basis for a stellar story and a moving meditation on chronic illness. The brilliant Ber is given room to express frustration and fear while learning to navigate middle school and magic with her diagnosis, which she does with humor and heart. An enchanting and inventive adventure about the power in facing down your demons—and sometimes befriending them. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
