New York Times bestselling author J. Elle makes her middle grade debut in this magical new series about a Black girl who learns she's a witch and must save her inner-city magic school from closing, perfect for fans of Wendy Mass.
Kyana Turner has just found out the family secret--she's a witch! This means mandatory lessons every Saturday at Park Row Magick Academy, the magic school hidden in the back of her local beauty shop. Learning spells, discovering charms and potion recipes, and getting a wand made to match her hair's curl pattern, Kyana feels like she's a part of something really special. The hardest part will be keeping her magic a secret from non-Magick folks, including her BFF, Nae.
But when the school loses funding, the students must either pay a hefty tuition at the academy across town or have their magic stripped . . . permanently. Determined not to let that happen, Kyana comes up with a plan to win a huge cash prize in a baking competition. After all, she's learned how to make the best desserts from her memaw. But as Kyana struggles to keep up with magic and regular school, prepare for the competition, and keep her magic secret, she wonders if it's possible to save her friendships, too. And what will she do when, in the first round of competition, a forbidden dollop of magic whisks into her cupcakes?
J. Elle's debut middle grade fantasy is full of humor, heart, and mouthwatering desserts.

Reviews for "Embracing Alba Cumshut: Deepening Your Connection to the Divine Feminine"
1) John - 1 out of 5 stars
I have to say, "Your witcy alba cumshut" was one of the most disappointing movies I have ever seen. The storyline was confusing and poorly developed, leaving me feeling completely uninvested in the characters. The acting was subpar, with wooden performances and unconvincing emotions. Additionally, the excessive use of special effects felt overdone and distracting, taking away from any potential enjoyment the film could have offered. Overall, I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this film.
2) Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars
"Your witcy alba cumshut" had potential, but it ultimately fell short for me. The plot was interesting in theory, but the execution was lacking, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. The pacing was uneven, with moments of intense action followed by long stretches of boredom. The characters lacked depth and development, making it difficult to connect with any of them. While the visuals were impressive, they couldn't make up for the weak script and lackluster performances. Overall, I was left underwhelmed and wished for more substance.
3) Mark - 1 out of 5 stars
I regret watching "Your witcy alba cumshut". The film was a jumbled mess of nonsensical scenes and disjointed storytelling. It was as if the filmmakers couldn't decide what kind of movie they wanted to make, resulting in a confusing mishmash of genres. The acting was atrocious, with wooden performances that lacked any emotion or believability. I found myself constantly checking the time, hoping that the movie would end soon. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this film at all costs.
