The Bag of Bones by Vivian French

4.0

I enjoyed this book. I want to read them all. This is set in a magical kingdom ruled by Queen Bluebell the 28th. She has to announce her heir and her daughter is missing. the witches are typically silly, yet one shows up using deep magic which is black magic and things start happening.

Gracie lives with the crones who weave the web of time and they see black magic spreading all over the web. Gracie sets off to fix everything. There are trolls, bats, rats and witches in this book. There is also a prince.

This book was simply a fun read. I enjoyed it. The characters are fun, the world is a little dark and a little creepy and it feels safe. The characters are quirky and there is plenty of magic. The dark witch feels bad without being too scary. Great for middle grade readers.
