“Tabby Easterland wakes on her twelfth birthday to find herself magically transformed into the twenty-five-year-old ‘Ms. Mulligan,’ an event witnessed only by her young friends – the platinum-haired southern belle Dolly Hargrave and the hard-boiled urban detective wannabe Kat Dorsett. Hiding her true identity, Ms. Mulligan becomes a teacher at her own school, where a desperate search for answers lead the girls to seek out Tabby’s long-lost father, discover an ancient mystical society, and fight the evil Black and White Sisters–witches determined to complete a long-planned curse upon Tabby. In a race against time, will love be enough to overcome the crippling curse and restore Tabby to her former self?”
For a young reader, this book really had it all. Friendships, a mystery, a secret society, a little bit of creepiness, and humor. The three girls really had a fun relationship, and when Tabby turned into a grown-up, the friendship continued – it was funny to me to imagine a grown woman hanging out with two twelve-year-olds as if nothing had happened! I found some of the plot to be a bit random and thrown together, but overall, the story was cute and entertaining. Age-wise, I think ages 9-12 is the right recommendation!
I can give away a copy of this book if anyone has a young girl they’d like to gift it to! Just let me know in the comments!
