About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels discouraged by their own mistakes or lacks confidence in their unique talents. While it is a high-energy fantasy adventure, the heart of the story speaks to the 'imposter syndrome' children often feel when they compare themselves to others. Kit is a young wizard who feels like her magic is constantly going wrong, but through her journey to a Scottish loch, she learns that her perceived failures are actually part of her growth. This sequel works beautifully as a standalone for ages 8 to 12. It offers a diverse cast of friends, a strong environmental message, and a healthy dose of humor that makes big emotional lessons about perseverance and self-acceptance feel light and accessible. It is an excellent choice for a child who needs to see that 'perfection' is not a prerequisite for being a hero.
