"A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family--and a new love--changes the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don't mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she's used to being alone and she follows the rules... with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and... Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he's concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for..."-- Provided by publisher.

Cute! submitted by ack on January 22, 2023, 12:14pm Cute read. There’s a bit of a fun surprise at the ending.

Magical! submitted by pamhockey25 on June 10, 2023, 2:08pm Loved the characters and the journeys they took. Recommend this book as a fun read!

Light and sweet submitted by keebs23 on June 11, 2023, 12:44pm A good-natured tale of natural witchcraft. Practical Magic without as much suffering.

Found Magical Family submitted by pjaynes on June 14, 2023, 3:46pm This was a very cute story that's great for people who like the found family trope, cozy vibes, witches, and a (slightly steamy) dose of romance. The characters and setting were very charming; reading this book felt like receiving a big bear hug. It's a good book to read anytime of the year, but it'd be especially perfect for a crispy and sunny fall day.

cute and sweet submitted by apknapp on June 15, 2023, 1:39pm This had all the ingredients for an all-time favorite romance, but instead it was just...nice. The storytelling was a bit clunky, kept taking me out of it. I was surprised by how much I liked the kids, they were well written.

enjoyable, light read submitted by rachelmcglash on July 26, 2023, 5:05pm I would recommend this to anyone who loves Emily Henry and looking for a little magical twist. Great themes of boundary setting and found family too.
