Ruby McCracken: Tragic Without Magic by Elizabeth Ezra

BLURB STIL TO BE CHECKED Ruby McCracken's life is OVER. Her parents have lost their jobs, they've forced her to move to the Ordinary World and worst of all, she's lost her magic. A witch without magic? That's LITERALY tragic. She won't be able to chat to her friends about the Hex Factor any more. And she's absolutely STARVING because her snack spell won't work. Also how can she get revenge on the mean girls at her boring new school without a good curse? Ruby is desperate to get her magic back and find a way home. Then one day she receives a mysterious hext that seems to offer an answer, but can she solve the riddle? More importantly, who would be sending a magical hext in this dreary ordinary world? This is a bright and lively magical debut which won the Kelpies Prize for new Scottish writing for children in 2016.

'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 Can’t 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 she’s 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.'
-- West Coast Review
