About this book:
“Publisher's
note: This book is Christian Young Adult Fiction and does not contain the
actual practice of witchcraft.
New to the small community of Redbend, Molly Sanders is delighted when she and Lenni Flemming become instant friends during the final weeks of her first Oklahoma summer. However, Bianca Ravenwood, Lenni’s best friend and self-proclaimed "witch" in training, is less than thrilled. In fact, she’s cursing mad, vowing to destroy Molly while honing her craft in the halls of Redbend High School.
When a loving schoolteacher intervenes, Molly is led into the open arms of a Christian youth group, where she learns of God, and of Bianca’s tragic past. Emboldened by the truth, and her newfound faith in Christ, Molly discovers the power of forgiveness is even stronger than the imagination of a wannabe witch.”

personal Rating-
Interesting book, right? But here’s
the thing—it was really good. For one thing, it didn’t actually have witches in it. Sure, Bianca’s a wanna be witch but
once you read about Bianca’s past everything about her made sense! You just
want to give her a hug! I really liked the forgiveness and
praying-for-those-you-don’t-like theme of the book.
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
