Witches of Brooklyn

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • There’s a new witch in town! Life in Brooklyn takes a strange turn when twelve-year-old Effie discovers her family’s magical powers in this laugh-out-loud graphic novel that’s “charming beyond belief” (Entertainment Weekly)!

A Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table (GNCRT) Outstanding Comics Award Winner for Best Children's Series

Effie’s aunts are weird. Like, really weird. Really, really, REALLY weird! As soon as she moves into their gigantic house in Brooklyn, Effie senses something is up. But with a new school, new friends, and new haunting nightmares to keep her busy, how is Effie supposed to realize that they’re in fact witches… and that she might possess the same magical abilities, too?

As Effie learns more about her family and herself, things begin to take an odd turn. With friends who will do whatever they can to be there for her, a cursed pop star, and her supernaturally inclined aunts teaching her how to use magic for good, Effie soon understands that normalcy is not in the cards for her—and that life will never be the same.

Don’t miss out on the Witches of Brooklyn graphic novel series, which continues to grow along with our favorite witch, Effie! Look for them all:
