Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6–Move over Sabrina and Tabitha, there's a new teen witch in town! In Esme Raji Codell's enjoyable story (Hyperion, 2005), Hunky Dory's mother expects her to become the wickedest witch wherever the four winds blow. Hunky, well on her way to accomplishing that feat, is first in her class at witch's charm school. Through a series of misadventures described in her diary, Hunky realizes that she would rather learn more about wishcraft than witchcraft. When the fact is revealed that Hunky likes granting wishes and is interested in learning how to become a (gasp!) F.G. (Fairy Godmother), she is expelled from school. Full of puns and wicked humor, this light fantasy will appeal to girls looking for a little magic of their own. Allusions to Harry Potter and Queen Mab are intertwined with inclusions of familiar fairy and witch stories, such as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. Tinkly fairy-like music floats in the background as Hunky begins reading her diary entries. When she truly accepts herself and becomes a fairy godmother, lush orchestral music signals the end of the story. Listeners are also treated to an appendix of some words of wisdom from the witch/fairy godmother textbook Be the One with the Wand and a recipe for Booger Cookies. Rachael Lillis provides just the right amount of innocence as the voice of Hunky Dory, and extends the effect of the diary by having Hunky do vocal impressions of people she has conversations with. Simply charming!–Stephanie Bange, Dayton and Metro Library, Wilmington Stroop Branch, OH

Narrator Rachel Lillis introduces us to diarist Hunky Dorey, a witch considering abandoning a promising future in witchcraft for the possibility of "wishcraft," the art of fairy godmothering. Lillis's vocal characterization reveals the idealism and kindness that make Hunky question her upbringing, but she fails to make the listener believe the venom that is also part of Hunky's character and that creates the story's central conflict. As a whole, the audio doesn't overcome the novel's slow pace. Some of the voices for the secondary characters are outstanding--as in the case of Hunky's sophisticated aunt--but Lillis misses opportunities when she reads flatly and doesn't keep the dialogue snappy.
