- W4225529257 abstract "Reviewed by: Witchlings by Claribel A. Ortega Natalie Berglind Ortega, Claribel A. Witchlings.. Scholastic, 2022 [352p] Trade ed. ISBN 9781338745528 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9781338815498 $17.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R Gr. 3-6 Seven Salazar is a twelve-year-old Witchling, which means this year she’ll be sorted into her coven of five—but at the sorting ceremony, Seven is left over with two others, new girl Thorn and Seven’s long-time bully Valley, as Spares. Spares are mistreated and looked down upon in the Twelve Towns, and Seven refuses to accept that fate, invoking the Clause of the Impossible Task: to prove their worth the girls must slay the fearsome Nightbeast. Failing the impossible task, though, means that the trio will be “toadified,” so Seven has to quickly learn how to work with a new friend and an old enemy before the deadline hits. Ortega’s witchy world is committed to its bubbly aesthetic and is brimming with amusingly eccentric references, such as “Real Witch Wives of Hastings-on-Pumpkins” and an amphibian named Edgar Allan Toad. This light-hearted tone is successfully balanced with heavier factors, as the books tackles issues of parental abuse and class politics that keep the Spares oppressed and in danger. Seven is a character who readers will want to root for, and her journey to befriend a stranger and understand her former bully brings authentic realism to this clever fantasy.
