Nayu's thoughts
It
just so happened that I'd reread the first book in this series right before reading this
tale, which introduces a wizard twin to the little Witch. Their magic duel
is hilarious! It reminded me a little of the duel between Merlin and
the not so nice witch in the Disney version of The
Sword in the Stone,
with each change of the wand the transformations get crazier. It had
me smiling away at the same time of wishing they'd just get along –
it's okay to be different from each other!
Competition is good in
healthy doses, too much creates chaos: adding magic to the mix is
asking for trouble! I love the bright colours and wild imagination
used for this duel – the ending was a big surprise and will delight
all readers.
