Think The House in the Cerulean Sea mixed with a grumpy-meets-sunshine romance and a giant pot of Earl Grey. The story follows Mika Moon, an isolated witch recruited to teach three young witches how to manage their powers at a remote British estate. The emotional core is pure comfort food about found family and self-acceptance.

The giant caveat for parents is content calibration. Because the tone is so gentle and whimsical, it is very easy to mistake this for a tween or middle-grade novel. Near the end, the romance turns fully explicit and open-door. It makes a delightful weekend read for older teens (15+) and adults, but keep it away from middle-schoolers expecting Harry Potter.
