About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the crushing weight of high expectations or begins to believe that their worth is tied solely to their grades. This graphic-heavy chapter book follows Rose, Amethyst, and Lavender as they prepare for the high-stakes Equinox Test at the Brooklyn School of Magic. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core is deeply relatable: the fear of failure and the dangerous temptation to take shortcuts when pressure peaks. It is a perfect choice for 8 to 12 year olds who are navigating more complex social dynamics and academic stressors. By following characters who struggle with honesty and self-doubt, parents can help their children understand that integrity is more valuable than any test score, and that true magic lies in supporting your friends through the hard stuff.
