About The Book
Three friends discover magic and mayhem around every corner of their school in this brand-new illustrated series from New Yorker cartoonist and NAACP Image Award nominee Liz Montague that’s perfect for fans of Witchlings and The Wizards of Waverly Place.
Welcome to the Brooklyn School of Magic, where seeds of enchantment are planted and magic sprouts in every corner. And where each fall, fifth years must pass the Equinox Test if they want to move up to Middle Magic.
Rose is worried. She’s never been the best student. And if she doesn’t pass with flying colors, Principal Ivy says she may have to transfer to a boring, non-magical school. Amethyst knows she’s got the skills to ace the test. But to really impress her mom, she’s got her eye on the school’s top prize. Lavender just wants to fit in. Even after a few years in the States, he still feels homesick. All. The. Time. Passing the test might just be his ticket back to the island.
But with best friend battles, a cheating scandal, and trouble brewing in the magical community, the Equinox Test may not even be the biggest challenge these Magic Bearers will face this year…
The Equinox Test Review
Anxiety Alert! Poor Rose is under so much pressure to do well on her test. Sorrowful Lav is lonely and just wants to fit in. Dejected Amethyst just wants to please her mother. The struggles are real and the author does a fantastic job of making the characters highly relatable. I just wanted to hug each of them and tell them it would be okay. The cute comics sprinkled throughout the book make it an even better read. Love the format! The events that transpire, both good and bad, keep the reader on their toes and waiting for the next magical experience. This is a great middle-school read. I’d definitely read more by this author.
