When I saw that Rockstar Book Tours had open spots on their tour for THE GOLDEN FROG GAMES (Witchlings #2), I jumped at the chance to participate… which meant I needed to read this book first! I’ve heard so many great things about Claribel Ortega’s books that I have really wanted to catch up. In fact, I have a hard copy of GHOST SQUAD that I still haven’t read yet. WITCHLINGS has been on my reading list for a while. I definitely see the connection, though they aren’t the same story at all. It’s funny to me that this book is compared to AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS– the comparison makes perfect sense, it’s just that I read them both at the same time. Ortega’s signature humor and girl-power vibes, this middle grade Latine witch story is truly a modern classic. With action-packed adventure, a coven of quirky witchlings, Claribel A. Forever.īut maybe friendship can be the most powerful magic of all…

If they fail… Well, the last coven to make the attempt ended up being turned into toads. The three Spares will be assigned an impossible task: If they work together and succeed at it, their coven will be sealed and they’ll gain their full powers. Seven invokes her only option: the impossible task. Even worse, when Seven and the other two Spares perform the magic circle to seal their coven and cement themselves as sisters, it doesn’t work! They’re stuck as Witchlings-and will never be able to perform powerful magic. Spare covens have fewer witches, are less powerful, and are looked down on by everyone.
