The Not-So-Wicked Witch

Book Review: The Not-So-Wicked Witch by Bethan Stevens

Rating: 4 Stars

I recently got a chance to review “The Not-So-Wicked Witch by Bethan Stevens”, and I was thoroughly charmed by this delightful read! As someone who loves a good story filled with whimsy and a touch of magic, this book was a perfect fit for me.

So, let me give you a little taste of what it's about. Picture a night where the moon hangs high and the air feels just right for adventure. This is when witches take to the skies, cackling and causing all sorts of mischief. But wait! Among all these wicked witches is one little witch who stands out from the crowd. Instead of reveling in chaos, she's more about kindness and gentleness—totally not her vibe to be wicked at all! The other witches, however, think she needs a makeover in wickedness and set out to teach her how to brew a truly terrible potion. The big question is: will she embrace their naughty ways, or will she show them that kindness can be just as magical?

First off, I've got to mention the cover—it's absolutely adorable! The illustrations throughout the book are vibrant and fun, capturing the spooky yet lighthearted essence perfectly. This story is an ideal companion for the spooky season; I could easily see it becoming a beloved bedtime read in October!

What I loved most about The Not-So-Wicked Witch is how it balances the themes of wickedness and kindness. It's not just a story about witches but also a gentle reminder that kindness has its own kind of magic. The little witch's journey encourages readers (young and old) to embrace their true selves, even when everyone around them thinks they should conform to a certain mold.

Honestly, this book would make an enchanting addition to any home library. Whether you're a parent looking for a new story to read with your kids or just someone who appreciates beautifully illustrated tales, this one deserves a spot on your shelf. Bethan Stevens has once again created a captivating world that blends humor with heart—perfect for readers of all ages.

If you haven't had the chance to dive into The Not-So-Wicked Witch, I highly recommend it! It's a whimsical adventure that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside, and who doesn't love that?
