Loved it! 😍
An entertaining fantasy as the world's most powerful young witch goes on a quest to reclaim what's most precious to her.
After drinking the same magic potion which made her very bad, suddenly Badfreaky becomes very good. She begins a battle to achieve what she wants very most. The trials begin...
A humongous monster eats her, a gigantic crab threatens her, huge pitch-black spiders want to cut her into pieces, disgusting cockroaches want to eat her alive, a ginormous snake, mad about cherries swallows her and bloodthirsty dragons want to burn her with the fire that comes out of their mouths!
How will she and Kixy, her beloved friend, deal with all these dangers?
The world’s most powerful and meanest witch is gone. Badfreaky now uses her powers for good when she is transformed into the “kindest witch in all the world and stars”. First on her to-do list is to fix her own handiwork so she can reunite with her parents. But she soon discovers some mistakes are difficult to undo, and she sets off on a quest with her beloved friend Kixy, a pitch-black magpie, to find the cure she needs.
However, obstacles soon appear. First, a gigantic beast swallows them. When they escape, an enormous crab threatens them. And their situation gets worse. They encounter spiders, cockroaches, and a cherry-eating snake who sees them as tasty meals, and an indecisive dragon confronts them. On the whole, Badfreaky stays calm, and uses her powers to help everyone along the way, even when her companion advises otherwise.
At the end of the book, young readers get the chance to complete multiple-choice questions. And that’s not all. They also get the chance to ponder over where Badfreaky should go next and can send the author their answers. What a great way to contribute to the story!
As for the writing, the author tells his story in a very engaging style. In fact, there never is a dull moment. The story hurtles from one crazy situation to the next. He mixes references to modern life in with Badfreaky’s trials and imparts life-lessons along the way. The beautiful illustrations bring her magical world to life.
You can enjoy this adventure without reading the first book. But you'll miss out on Badfreaky’s origin story. I enjoyed immersing myself in this world of fantastic creatures. But I sometimes found it hard to keep up with all the characters. Not to mention the in-depth explanations of how they and their surroundings operate.
Overall, this story offers young readers a great escape into a fantasy world, and is highly recommended.
