Witchlings

De: Claribel A. Ortega

Narrado por: Cyrina Fiallo

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 12-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, this middle grade Latinx witch story is truly a modern classic.

A Magical Read For Anyone

The world building is so intuitive for this book that I really just fell in love with Ravenskill and its inhabitants. The vernacular used by the characters is unique and fun. I adored this book.

absolutely loved this

I couldn't stop listening, I finished it all in one go. It's very engaging and just so fun, highly recommended.

Very fun start to a new series.

I had a lot of fun with the story and the world is filling out well as the story's goes on. The cheracters were really enjoyable to see as they grow, improve, and over all grow. The world is ver intersection and the meshing of modern and magic is quite fun.

I was a little confused with some of the terms and there mean int he beginning but nothing that wasn't made clear as they were used more in context.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Fun & Heartwarming Witch Story!

What a wonderful book with really great audiobook narration! Highly recommended for lovers of magical stories looking for something fresh, fun and more diverse than Harry Potter.

I love it so much

Best book in the universe 🧙🏼‍♀️🧹🧪🏜️7️⃣ if I had to choose my favorite character it would be Valley

Great for Harry Potter fans!

I've always a sucker for the underdog stories. this is the perfect example of one of those stories. and if you like Harry Potter you'll love Witchlings. I'm glad I chose this to listen to while traveling out of state and can't wait for book two to learn more about the 12 towns and see what the spares do next.

Magical!

A fun, sweet, and exhilarating ride. I had so much fun with this story from beginning to end. Fun magic systems and a captivating new world to behold!
