If you loved Ottoline (Chris Ridell)

[borageforager]

I have a reluctant reader 8 year old who loves & frequently returns to Ottoline. Has anyone got any books that might appeal in a similar vein? I tried Goth Girl on her but it was a bit more advanced & she didn’t go for it.

Far-Flung Adventures series
Maisie Hitchins
Amelia Fang
Witch Wars
Victoria Stitch
Violet mystery books by Harriet Whitehorn

Definitely give Witch Wars a go, quite quirky, which my DD loved, as she did Ottoline. She also enjoyed Tom Gates around the same time.

Emma Fischel's WitchWorld series?

Wings Fairy Detective Agency series (Sally Gardner)?

The Molly Moon books!
