Effie’s aunts are weird. Like, really weird. Really, really, REALLY weird! As soon as she moves into their gigantic house in Brooklyn, Effie senses something is up. But with a new school, new friends, and new haunting nightmares to keep her busy, how is Effie supposed to realize that they’re in fact witches… and that she might possess the same magical abilities, too?
As Effie learns more about her family and herself, things begin to take an odd turn. With friends who will do whatever they can to be there for her, a cursed pop star, and her supernaturally inclined aunts teaching her how to use magic for good, Effie soon understands that normalcy is not in the cards for her—and that life will never be the same.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 11-year-old Effie's mother dies, she is given into the care of her elderly aunt Selimene and partner, Carlota, acupuncturists and herbalists living in Brooklyn. At first angry and hurt, Effie rails against the women but is soon won over by their big personalities and rambling home, visually detailed in satisfying bird's-eye view cross-sections. Lucking into a pair of good friends on her first day of school, Effie is settling into her new life when her favorite pop star secretly comes to the house, looking for help. Through this arrival, Effie discovers that her aunts' healing methods veer into the magical and begins to realize her own magical powers. Escabasse's character design stands out, particularly wonderfully distinct faces and variously shaped bodies that populate a stylish, boldly colored world. Though initial exposition and character relationships feel rushed, each individual displays a unique personality, and the straightforward plot allows for a focus on evolving relationships. A warm story of found family and healing that stands on its own while setting the stage for further adventures. Ages 8 12.
