Lily is nine; her sister Daisy is one—and she's no ordinary baby. Somehow, when she was born, something went wrong and now Daisy is a Witch Baby. Nobody knows this but Lily—she's the only one who can see when Daisy makes the fridge float in the air, or turns people into slugs, or summons up her very stinky dog Waywoof. The sisters have just moved to a new neighborhood, and their mom wants them to make friends. Will the party be a big success or will Daisy's magic mean things are even more chaotic than normal?

Debi Gliori is the author and illustrator of many books for children, such asNo Matter What and the Pure Dead series, which includes Pure Dead Magic andPure Dead Wicked.
Gr 4-6–Three witches from Ben Screeeiiighe, a wildly remote area of Scotland, are searching for a baby. Their plan, at first, is to cast a spell on an infant, allow the human parents to raise her, then take over her witchy education when she becomes older. Humans cannot see most of their spells, or so they predict. But the witches do not foresee that Baby Daisy MacRae's sister was born under a blue moon; she can see their magic, and knows that her sister is a witch even if no one believes her. And so begins this quirky series about a family who leaves the city for the Scottish highlands where they plan to carry on quiet, normal lives. Daisy finds a ghost dog, appropriately called WayWoof (because she cannot say Werewolf) that only she and Lily can see at first, but everyone smells. Gliori imaginatively dreams up spells that a toddler witch can perform, leaving hilarious consequences for her big sister to explain or fix. In After Dark, Lily and her friend Vivaldi take Daisy out for Halloween only to divert their attention from trick-or-treating to searching for lost WayWoof. Readers will laugh at Lily's imagination and her attempts to keep people from finding out that her sister is really a spell-casting witch-in-training. Entertaining line drawings complement the texts. Fun choices for readers who like silly fantasies.Delia Carruthers, Roxbury Public Library, Succasunna, NJ
