Bea Black is all settled into her new life in Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret.

What I liked:
This highly entertaining read is the second in this series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. Flying High teaches us that politeness, honesty, and fairness are abundant; even the most spiteful, nasty bully has a heart of gold. It also emphasizes that being different ( a witch ) doesn’t preclude friendships with ordinary mortals ( Ash ), as the separation between a witch and a human remains a significant problem in this series.
Written in diary form, with many amusing corrections, this will appeal to both sexes in years 2&3.
Final Verdict:
The writing was quirky and hilarious. I loved to read about how the Extraordinaries and the Ordinaries competed on sports day! Overall, this was a brilliant light read, and I would like to read more in this series.
