2022 Cybils Winner, Early Chapter Books
Witch in the City begins a new early chapter book series about a young witch named Crimson Twill.
Crimson Twill was a little witch. But you might not know it. She didn’t look like a typical little witch. Instead of wearing pointy shoes, she wore gum boots. Instead of wearing a plain black dress, she wore a polka-dotted one. And instead of wearing a plain black hat, she wore one with a big bow, and the hat was crimson, just like her name.
Crimson Twill is on her way to Broomingdales with her mother, her first trip to the big city. As she looks for ways to spend her money, she finds some other out-of-place things and creatures and people. She has some gentle adventures and makes new friends.
It’s a promising introduction to a new series about a little witch who’s not like all the other witches.
