2026 Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT) Outstanding Comics Award - Best Children's Series - Winner

The magic continues in this hit middle-grade series as our favourite witch-in-training takes on Manhattan! Perfect for readers looking for magic and friendship.

Effie's actions have consequences and after losing a duel and freeing the notorious Flower Sisters, she now has to face the Witches Council. At least she has her friends with her... almost.

Effie just wants to go back to life before the duel, but after a fight with Garance, she's realising that maybe there are some other problems she has been ignoring. Learning magic is one thing, but being a good friend and a good witch is something else entirely. Can she fix it all before it's too late or will the Witches Council put an end to all her magical adventures?

Catch up with Effie's adventures with books 1-5 in the hit Witches of Brooklyn series!
