Jimmy is back once again helping his friends save their world. This time, Jimmy is helping Jade complete her remaining training to become a witch. Jade must complete a series of tests before she’s granted entry into the coven. Whilst this is going on, many things threaten to disturb the lives of the residents of Roombelow and Lithnia. The walls and roofs in Lithnia are falling apart for some unknown reason. It’s now up to Jimmy and Jade to figure out what’s causing this and put a stop to it. Will they be able to work it out? And will Jade pass her training and become a fully qualified guardian? The Adventures of Jimmy Crikey: Jade, the Youngest Ever Witch by Wallace E Briggs, will take readers on an adventure.

After having read and reviewed the first book in this series, I had high expectations of going into this one. I can happily say that this book has lived up to those expectations. The story is filled with action and adventure from the very first page. One of the things that I loved most about the book was seeing the friendship between Jimmy and Jade develop. As I was reading, I felt like I was there with the characters exploring their world.

It was fun to see how the friends navigated through each challenge that was thrown at them. My favourite part of the book would have to be when Jimmy and Jade were fighting the beetles. Every character in this book is lovable and so it’s hard for me to pick just one. However, if I had to pick one character, my favourite would be Jimmy because I love how he is willing to support his friends without a second thought.

There was nothing that I disliked about the book. My attention was on the book from the start to the end. I think the book conveys the message that you should never judge someone based on how they look and instead accept everyone for who they are. In the story, a few characters assumed Jade was a weak witch because she was a small child.

Overall, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because I believe it truly deserves this. I only found 2 mistakes, so it is professionally edited. I recommend this book to children aged between 9-13 who love reading books that take them on a journey. Despite being in a series, this book can be read as a standalone.

I love adventures books. I'm curious to know how jade would reach to becoming the witch despite the challenge at hand Jimmy and jade had to sort out first. Looking forward to reading the book. Thanks for an impeccable review!

I like the way the reviewer pitched the descriptions to a YA who might read the review. I myself have a hard time doing that. The book sounds good and I *may* read it. I'm personally not ready yet to read YA.
