'Ruby McCracken: Tragic without Magic is packed with humour, magic,
disgusting food concoctions and hilarious anecdotes that will be
perfect for fans of the Worst Witch and You Cant Make Me Go to
Witch School.'
-- Armadillo
'The challenges of being a normal human plunged into magic training
have been well worked in the Worst Witch series. But perhaps not
thoroughly enough explored is what it means to be a witch thrust
into a banal ordinary world in which shes not even allowed to cast
spells. Enter the entertaining Ruby McCracken: Tragic Without
Magic, by Elizabeth Ezra (Floris, £6.99)'
-- The Herald
Ruby is an endearing, witty heroine whose frustrations... will
resonate with young readers as much as her language does, and
Ezra's sense of fun abounds in witchy details... A great fit for
readers looking to move on from the Worst Witch or Wrigglesbottom
Primary to something slightly spooky but not too scary.'
