I like that this book decided to teach such valuable morals in a fun way using illustrations and colours. It doubles as an educative piece since it teaches about gardening too. I've wanted to start my garden and grow fresh veges and fruits. This is perfect.

Filled with beautiful illustrations and life lessons, today's BOTD is a second-in-series fantasy read, best fit for grades 3-6, that follows Marvelouz as she learns to grow a garden. Young readers are sure to enjoy the characters, and parents will appreciate the themes about perseverance, growth, and sisterly love. Thanks for your awesome review! :-)

I de-stress with children's picture books, so I'm happy this one's free today. I'm guessing Marvelouz used her magic wand to grow her garden. I am excited to see those pictures!

Today's BOTD is a wonderfully illustrated children's book about a witch named Marvelouz. The story shares how she attempts to create a beautiful garden like her sister Sparkleful. The fascinating book cover immediately drew me in. I am curious to find out what happened to Marvelouz's garden. This book will be a fun read for kids. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Marvelouz and Sparkful have a wonderful sister relationship; I could tell just from the first ten pages I read. Younger readers will enjoy this book's fantastical elements and lessons to help others when you can. Thanks for the review!

This is a beautiful and lovely fantasy tale about two sisters. Sparkleful is always there to help and mentor her young sister, Marvelouz, to do things the right way. I like how the younger sister is being inspired by the older one. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

"Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch" by Karen Fronterhouse. An interesting book, talks about the story of two young witch sisters, Marvelouz and Sparkleful. Marvelouz on her own, wants to be like her older sister Sparkleful. Growing a garden of her own without knowing the procedures. Sparkleful had a great garden. But then, it turns out that Marvelouz really needed guardian to grow her garden, which she later got from Sparkleful. This book teaches patience, love. Congrats on your #BOTD.

This is a cute story about a young witch who decides to plant a garden. It seems like a fun little story for young kids who are just moving into chapter books. Marvelouz is fun and impulsive. She wants a garden like her big sister but gets a little ahead of herself and doesn't wait for instructions! Needless to say, the garden doesn't quite go as planned! I would not recommend this book for anyone who doesn't approve of magical themes for children. Thank you for the preview.

Thank you for your impressionable review on, "Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch" by Karen Fronterhouse. I look forward to reading this book that has wonderful illustrations that bring to life the adventures of the sisters, to my granddaughter. I will probably read the first book prior to reading this one since the reviewer noted that there was some confusion in the story that may have been due to not reading the first book. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

"official Review: Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch Book Two: Marvelouz Grows a Garden' by Karen Fronterhouse briefly outlines the science fiction story of the book for readers. It vividly explains the plot of the story for omnivorous readers. The point that this is the second book in a series that tells the story of two young sisters, Marvelouz and Sparkleful, is worth mentioning in the review. Also, as mentioned in the review, the story focuses on the concept that 'no plan is a plan for failure.' Learning that the illustrations were magnificent and enabled readers to visualize the story was nice!

I am fascinated by the story of two young witch sisters, Marvelouz and Sparkleful. I am intrigued by the beautiful garden Sparkleful grew. I am interested in learning what Marvelouz did to her garden and how things turned out.

Marvelouz seemed to be a very interesting character so I’m looking forward to digging into Mishaps of Marvelouz Witch Book Two: Marvelouz Grows a Garden by Karen Fronterhouse and enjoy story of this interesting witch as she developed her own garden.
