Armed with spells that often misfire and her trusty pet chameleon, Bat, Maggie's magical attempts lead to unexpected chaos.

Dive into Maggie's enchanting world where every day is an adventure filled with dragons, aliens, and the challenges of growing up.

From the publisher

Book 1 in the magical adventures of a naughty little witch whose temper tantrums fizz into all kinds of trouble! Maggie Sparks does NOT want a baby brother! Especially not one who is noisy, smelly and gets ALL the attention. The good thing is, Maggie’s a witch. A super powerful, super smart, super talented witch … who sometimes gets her spells wrong. But that won’t stop her finding a way to win back her mom and dad from the evil monster baby. Especially when she’s got Bat, her pet chameleon, to help. All she needs is a little magic … About the Maggie Sparks series: Step into the magical world of Maggie Sparks: the mischievous little witch who turns every day into an adventure. Join Maggie as she learns how to tackle school, make friends and most confusing of all: understand her emotions - when she’s not facing dragons and meeting aliens, that is! Perfect to bridge the gap between Isadora Moon and Amelia Fang for young readers aged 5+.
