The wayward witcl and the feelings moster
Sally Rippin has previously brought readers of younger junior fiction the series of Billy B Brown and Hey Jack!
The Wayward Witch and the Feelings Monster is the first page-turning book in Sally's new series, Polly and Buster. This series is perfect for the more advanced readers of junior fiction books. It encompasses themes of family, friendship, learning difficulties, loyalty, acceptance, emotions, bullying and prejudice in a sensitive, non-preachy manner.
In the story The Wayward Witch and the Feelings Monster the reader is introduced to Polly Proggett, a young witch who has immense problems with casting spells and making friends at school.
Polly's favourite teacher, Miss Spinnaker, tries to help Polly by placing her in a group of very good potion makers. However, Polly is too embarrassed to ask for help and as feared the wart disappearing potion goes disastrously wrong. Polly is teased by Malorie Halloway which fuels Polly's temper and she squirts the wort potion into Malorie's face, causing a catastrophe. The situation leaves Polly with a heavy heart, wishing that she could do things right and be liked by other witches.
At home things are just as difficult. Polly's once happy family of four became a family of three after her father was killed in a mine accident. Her sister, Winifred, is good at everything and appears to take great delight in spying on Polly and constantly getting her in trouble with their mother.
Luckily, Polly has her monster friend, Buster. Their friendship is very important to Polly as Buster has an wonderful ability to make her feel better, 'And even if you never find that thing you are good at, you will always be special to me'. Buster has a secret ability, he is a feelings monster whose body changes shape and size with his emotions.
While Polly loves Buster, she is greatly conflicted by the pressure she feels to not acknowledge their friendship publicly, as it is socially unacceptable for a witch to be friends with a monster.
In the world that Polly and Buster live in, there is segregation between witches and monsters. One example of this segregation is that monsters must sit at the back of the bus, ' After all, a monster must always know their place. ' Polly cannot understand why this prejudice towards monsters appears to be gaining momentum within the witches and warlock community. She finds her own loyalty towards Buster challenged when both their schools attend an excursion at the National Gallery.
At the National Gallery Miss Spinnaker assigns Polly and Malorie as partners, hoping that the girls could learn to work together. During the excursion Malorie realises that Polly is a talented drawer and the girls begin to form a friendship. Polly likes this feeling of acceptance and having a witch as a friend.
To protect this new friendship Polly chooses to deny knowing Buster when he starts to wave at her and call her name . Her actions causes Buster to shrink into a small grey ball which makes him a target for the other monsters to bully. Will Polly help Buster or will she do whatever it takes to be friends with Malorie?
The consequence of Polly's choice will create other difficult decisions for Polly as the story unfolds. Will she loose a friend? Will she be popular at school? Will she join the movement against monsters? And will she ever cast a spell that works?
The Wayward Witch and the Feelings Monster is a great first book of a new series, that leaves the reader wanting to know what happens next.

Reviews for "The Psychological Effects of Black Magic on its Victims"
1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Black Magic Cast". The plot was weak and predictable, and the characters felt one-dimensional. The dialogue was cheesy and unrealistic, and the acting was subpar. Overall, it felt like a cheap and poorly executed attempt at a supernatural thriller. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "Black Magic Cast" was one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. The storyline was confusing and poorly developed, making it difficult to stay engaged. The special effects were laughably bad and the scares were anything but scary. The whole film felt like a lazy attempt to cash in on the popularity of supernatural movies, without putting any effort into the actual quality. I would strongly advise against watching this film.
3. Mark - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Black Magic Cast", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The pacing was off, with slow and uninteresting moments outweighing the few suspenseful ones. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue was cliché. The plot had potential, but it was executed in a way that left me feeling unsatisfied. Overall, "Black Magic Cast" was a forgettable attempt at a horror film.
