My absolute FAVORITE book!! June 22, 2008
I LOVE this book and the rest of its series. Hands down, no doubt about it, my number one favorite book of all time. The first time I read it, I couldn't put it down, I turned page after page and was hooked. A great read for all magic and fantasy lovers!
 Derivative and Poorly Written September 13, 2007
This book was a disappointing read. At 185 pages The Everyday Witch is at least not very long, but I barely finished the dreary thing. The plot and world Forrester has created are familiar and feel rehashed--every turn of the page I kept thinking I would see the words "Harry Potter" or "Ron Weasley" instead of "Beatrice" or "Cyrus." The characters are perhaps the worst element of the story; I have rarely encountered such two-dimensional or unrealistic people in a novel. The prose certainly gives them a run for their money, though...clunky and immature, it rings of inexperience. The author has clearly not established a voice yet, which lends the book a timid, weak quality. The Everyday Witch is a perfect example of low-caliber fantasy, the type I loathe and hope to ease others away from.
Well written story about a young girl in a magical world October 28, 2004
My daughter was excited about a new book she had read, "The Everyday Witch." She was so excited that after returning the book to the library she said she wanted to buy her own copy. She had read and reread the book several times over the three weeks. I was curious and so I read it.
The story is about a young witch, Beatrice Bailey, who lives in our world. When she turns twelve she is given a quest to rescue some relatives who have been placed under a spell by an evil witch. This book, the first, is about Beatrice's venture into the world of magic and with the help of some friends tries to break part of the spell.
There have been some comparisons between these books and the Harry Potter books. The Beatrice Bailey stories have some of the same richness of a detailed world of magic. So far the world is lighter that the Harry Potter world. Beatrice grew up knowing that she was a witch, and she comes from a healthy family that loves her.
If you enjoy, or your children enjoy, light fantasy, then this is a good book to get. It reads well. The book has a well fleshed out magical world that entertains and enthralls.
Thrilling Tale of Magic and Adventure July 30, 2004

Tall, skinny, Beatrice Bailey is about to turn twelve-years-old. Sure she's excited at the prospect of getting another year older, but the fact that she will be getting her official witch classification makes her dread the day, and hope that it will never come. For on her twelfth-birthday, the Witches Executive Committee will classify her as either an "Everyday" witch, or a "Classical" witch. However, Beatrice is a special case, for the Witches Executive Committee can't make up their mind about which classification Beatrice rightfully deserves, so they assign Beatrice to a Noble Quest that will test her Maximum Magic Level. Before they know it, Beatrice and her closest friends (Teddy, Cyrus, and Ollie), are sent to an enchanted country called Bailiwick where they must try to succeed in breaking a spell that was cast by an evil sorcerer known as Dally Rumpe. There they must get past a fire-breathing dragon, and an enchanted hedge of thorns, to undo the spell that has covered the town in nothing but snow and ice.
Sandra Forrester has created an exciting new series with THE EVERYDAY WITCH. Beatrice is a fun character, who is intelligent and talented, even if she doesn't know it yet. Her friends make the story even better, as they all have certain quirks about them that make the reader laugh. Teddy is obsessed with what true witches are wearing, as she always wants to be up-to-date in witch fashion; Cyrus is constantly shrinking himself to retrieve items in sewers, vents, and any other tiny place that you can imagine; and Ollie is the problem solver. Together they create an enjoyable group of characters that will satisfy even the most reluctant reader. All in all this is a thrilling tale of magic and adventure that will capture the hearts of both male and female middle readers looking for an exciting fiction novel.

A Great Book That's NOT Just For Kids March 30, 2003

The Everyday Witch is a very good book, it tells the tale of a young witch and her three friends and their adventure in the magical place called "The Witchs' Sphere." In this book the four have to go on an adventure which brings them to a dangerous land, gives them an unforgetable encounter with an evil villian, and gives them a chance to learn a little more about themselves and their desires. I liked the book because it is a lot like a fairy tale, except more exciting and modern. You get to know the characters quite well and the authors' description of everything paints a wonderful picture. This book is up on the level of Midnight for Charlie Bone and Harry Potter(any of the four that have been published as of yet.)
