Brief Description:
Disney’s The Owl House meets Nevermoor, in a brilliant new adventure from
New York Times bestselling author Claribel A. Ortega! Every year, in the
magical town of Ravenskill, Witchlings who participate in the Black Moon
Ceremony are placed into covens and come into their powers as full-fledged
witches. And twelve-year-old Seven Salazar can’t wait to be placed in the
most powerful coven with her best friend! But on the night of the ceremony,
in front of the entire town, Seven isn’t placed in one of the five covens.
She’s a Spare! Spare covens have fewer witches, are less powerful, and are
looked down on by everyone. Even worse, when Seven and the other two Spares
perform the magic circle to seal their coven and cement themselves as
sisters, it doesn’t work! They’re stuck as Witchlings–and will never be
able to perform powerful magic. Seven invokes her only option: the
impossible task. The three Spares will be assigned an impossible task: If
they work together and succeed at it, their coven will be sealed and
they’ll gain their full powers. If they fail… Well, the last coven to
make the attempt ended up being turned into toads. Forever. But maybe
friendship can be the most powerful magic of all… With action-packed
adventure, a coven of quirky witchlings, Claribel A. Ortega’s signature
humor, and girl-power vibes, you won’t be able to put down this middle-
grade Latine witch story, perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers
or Harry Potter.
