review 1: This one did not charm me. But Trixie’s baby sister having the name Abby Cadabra is enough for an added star. I really enjoyed that name. I guess this would be a good book for kids experiencing sibling rivalry.But, I kind of hated the artwork and I was mildly amused and touched during a small portion of this story, but overall I didn’t enjoy it. If it hadn’t been such a fast read I wouldn’t have finished it.For kids who like the art and this type of story, I’m sure it’s a hit.Except for Peanuts and then Doonesbury, I wasn’t a huge fan of comics until The Far Side. Since then, I’ve read many graphic novels I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, fiction and non-fiction books both that are told via comics, but this wasn’t one of them. I’m disappointed and somewhat sur... moreprised that this wasn’t a hit with me. But, I can see recommending this to many middle grade age girls. If I hadn’t had a visceral revulsion to the artwork, I suspect I’d have liked this a lot more.
review 2: Jill Thompson's comic book introducing none other than the main character of Magic Trixie, a spunky little witch and her cat Scratch, as they dance through life with friends at family. Magic Trixie belongs to a family of witches, running a restaurant called Elixer, which is in the first floor of her house. She goes to "Monsterstorri" School with her fellow monster classmates. It is an absolutely darling story with such inventive characters, a treasure in the graphic novels to read aloud and share and read again with more attention paid to the clever artwork.Trixie is days away from Show-and-Tell and she cannot figure out just what she should bring to impress her classmates. Her family is too busy with the restaurant and her new baby sister, Abby-Cadabra, to help her find a good solution to her problem. They tell her she is too young to bring magic tricks to school. Magic Trixie gets into a little trouble trying to make up her mind, but things work out for the best in the end!Themes:Jealousy, new baby syndrome, maturity, sharing. less
