“Anna Sophia doesn’t know much about herself. Not
what happened to her parents. Not why she was found living with wild bears in
Siberia, and certainly not why an eccentric, rich couple in Switzerland is
trying so hard to adopt her. She has always known she was different. She didn’t
know just how different until her 13th birthday, when she discovered her
supernatural powers, both delightful and a little frightening. She also learned
that these powers make a dark cloud grow inside her soul, bit by tiny bit. And
now she’s in danger. Her friends, too. It’s so tempting to use her magic to
save them all, but would she sacrifice her soul for that? She just doesn’t
know. Anna Sophia can ignite things. She can fly in a bucket and stop time. And
she has some serious choices to make.”
What were your initial thoughts on the book?
My first thoughts
about this book were that it wasn’t going to be any good and that I would find
it boring because I have read a million stories about witches already, and they
are nearly always about the same thing, but when I started reading it I
discovered that this was not like all the other witch books that I had read and
I actually really began enjoyed it. Soon, I was near the end of the book and
once I had finished it, I felt like I needed to read more and I hope one day I can read the next 2 in the
series, and I know that I will love them just like this first one.
Who was your favourite character and why?
My favourite character
was Anna Sophia because she was very curious about what had recently happened
to her and immediately had hundreds of questions. She didn’t just stop after
danger came past; she carried on whatever the problem was ready to achieve her
goal. She would step up and be brave to save her best friend from terrible
danger even if she thought she would be in great trouble if she was caught
saving her, and many others, with her friend; she showed courage even though
inside she was burning with fear. She is also my favourite character because
through the book I really got to know her, and it felt like I was going through
every step of what was happening to her and that I was feeling everything that
she was feeling.
What was your favourite part of the book and
why?
My favourite part in
the book was when Anna Sophia manages to fly in a bucket. I really liked this
part because it meant that she was one step closer to saving everyone and it
was really funny. I found that it flying in a bucket instead of a broom made
Anna unique and different to all other witches and made this book special and
definitely made me want to read on. Although I found flying in a bucket weird
at first, after thinking about it I realised that this was part of Anna’s
personality and that if she was flying in an ordinary broom that this book wouldn’t
be that interesting.
Would you recommend this book?
I would recommend this
book to anyone who enjoys thrilling adventure stories between the ages 10-14. I
loved this book and I think that everyone will like it too if they just try and
read it!
Summarise the book in one sentence. (Verdict)
A very creative and
imaginative story, that anyone who reads the first couple of chapters will
enjoy and love straight away!
