A Taste of Magic

A Taste of Magic is about a twelve-year-old girl named Kyana. She has just discovered that she is the first witch in her family for decades. Luckily, there is a witch school that she can attend every day that is hidden in the back of the local hair salon. Kyana’s mom is spread thin working two jobs because she is trying to support the family. Kyana cannot wait to learn how to do some magic so that she can actually help out at home. Sadly, Kyana cannot tell her very best friend about her magic.

Soon, the school loses its funding and the students have to pay a large sum of money for tuition or lose their magic. Kyana, not wanting to lose the only thing that will allow her to help her mom, enters a baking contest with a large cash prize. Buy the book to discover if Kyana can manage to win the prize and return to witch school.

A Taste of Magic would appeal to younger children. I recommend this book to kids ages five to ten. Although this book was a good read, I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would because it was a little too childish for me. I think my little seven-year-old sister, who loves to bake, would enjoy it. I am sure your younger reader will too!
