When ordinary girl Bea Black moves to Little Spellshire with her dad, he accidentally enrolls her in the local witch school. What could possibly go wrong?

Bea Black has just moved to Little Spellshire with her dad, who accidentally enrolls her in the local witch school. Bea (who is very much NOT a witch) has to tackle complicated classes like potions and levitation, take care of the class frog, and most importantly of all, figure out how to keep her magic a secret from her dad and her best friend! Features black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Told through Bea's diary entries, the Diary of an Accidental Witch series invites readers to follow Bea on a humorous journey of self-discovery as she learns where she truly belongs.
