Book Review - W.I.T.C.H. - The Power of Five

This is a review of the book, W.I.T.C.H. The Power of Five adapted by Elizabeth Lenhard. This is the first book in the series. The series is for ages 9 to 13. If you enjoy reading fantasies and mysteries, you will enjoy this book.

When I first looked at the title, I wasn't sure about the book. However, after I started reading it, I enjoyed it. The title stands for the five girls who are the main characters in the series: Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin. The author is trying to show readers how friendships are developed.

Something is unusual about these five friends. They have magical powers that startle them at first. They are beginning to learn about their powers and what they can do.

The book starts out with Taranee Cook moving to Heatherfield. She is going to Sheffield Institute, which is a private school. Taranee wasn't sure about her new school. When Taranee entered the main hallway, she stopped and looked around. She suddenly realized that she didn't know where to go. While she was looking for her schedule in her backpack, she heard some footsteps. She saw another girl who looked lost, too. Her name was Will. They were both lost and not sure where to go. Finally, the principal approached them and headed them in the right direction. After that, they met Irma, Hay Lin, and Corneilia.

Taranee's first class was history. Class had already started, but Mr. Collins greeted her and mentioned they were going to have a "pop quiz." After the students were startled, he told them that he was just being mean, and they weren't going to have a quiz. Hay Lin and Irma were also in the history class. Cornelia had an English class at the time of the history class.

Throughout the book, the five friends were getting ready for a Halloween party. As they got ready, different things started happening such as the water rising out of the bathtub like a cobra when Irma was taking a bath. Later on, a firefly hovered over Irma. Irma doesn't understand why these things are happening to her.

The questions you might ask while you are reading this book are: Why did these girls obtain these magical powers? How did they get them?

The books are easy to read, and they all have a message for children ages 9 to 13. Even adults who are writers of this age group or who enjoy reading children's books will enjoy this series.
