Veronica Twitch, the Fabulous Witch: Double-Bubble Girl-Band Trouble!

Gr 3-5–A sparkly, friendly fantasy story for upper elementary readers. Veronica Twitch is a young witch writer for Twitch magazine. Her first assignment is to interview Double-Bubble, one of the most popular bands in Witch City, and she couldn’t be more excited. The story takes a mysterious turn when Double-Bubble goes missing. Veronica and her friends must work together to save Double-Bubble and discover the kidnappers’ identities. Readers who enjoy Brandi Dougherty’s “Poison Apple” or Sienna Mercer’s “My Sister the Vampire” series will be under this book’s spell. Fantasy themes blend with an intriguing mystery that will keep young readers guessing. The glittery cover paired with the half- and full-page black and purple illustrations bring the story to life. Waters creates a magical world that would be a great choice for young readers who are interested in “Harry Potter” but aren’t at that reading level yet.
