The Witch of Turlingham Academy

review 1: I loved The Worst Witch books and tv show as a child, so reading The Witch of Turlingham Academy brought back some similar and fond memories of the show. Although a different story line I feel it was similar in many ways and any young girl will relate and love this book. This book is about a girl called Sophie, she's 13, she is confident, popular and stylish. She is a great and fun and I for one loved her. She goes to a boarding school called Turlingham Academy and she has only recently found out she is a witch. The new girl at the school who is called Katy, and she's a witch hunter. There is lots of adventure happening in there, that will keep you reading and wanting to find out if Sophie is going to be ok. I love Ellie's writing excellent, fits in well for the tween mark... moreet and even as an adult reading it, it hits the spot. It's funny and well written. This book is a light and easy read, one which will keep you interested and wanting to find out more. This new and exciting series by Atom is aimed at the age range of 8-12, which I think this book fits in perfectly to. Once of the best things about this series is we don't have to wait long for the next instalment, the next book is out in the next three months or so. I for one cannot wait to read what happens next.
review 2: The Witch of Turlingham Academy is a cute, easy read aimed at tweens. So the target audience is between 8-12, nevertheless as a 17 year old i still enjoyed it. I won this book recently and after reading a few heavy and complex books i wanted something that i could breeze through without difficulty so i choose this. Despite the young target audience, older readers can enjoy this book too. This book although has a simple story line, but the adventure is present from start till finish. Leaving all readers wanting to hear more of Sophie's adventures. The book follows Sophie, the daughter of the headmistress of Turlingham Academy, as she goes back for a new term. Before the term has even officially begun she's in trouble. It seems everywhere she goes trouble follows. We join Sophie and her group of friends for midnight gossips and discussing crushes. When new girl Katy suddenly turns up at school, Sophie immediately thinks she's hiding something. While Sophie has newly developed problems of her own, she has to get to the bottom of Katy's secret and in the mean time discover her own. Sophie was different to a normal character aimed at tweens. Sophie wasn't afraid to break the rules, she's tough. She's not overly girly and she's clever. The sort of person more girls need to read about. Not the pink princess that seems to be everywhere in the modern day. At first I didn't like Katy at all because of her whole secret but once you get to know her, she probably more human and down to earth than anyone else. She's in a position that she hates but has to go along with it to please her parents. Another thing i believe many tweens can relate too. The Witch of Turlingham Academy is a brilliant book for tweens. The book is entertaining from start to finish. The action never stops. Nowhere in the book does it get boring and begin to drag, it is effortlessly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this book to tweens. It's a mix of witchcraft in the modern world. It's a great book. less
