John Wiswell recommends

The Keeper of Magical Things (2025)
Julie Leong
"A refreshing fantasy adventure written for anyone with a heart. Full of delightful twists and turns, fights with sentient objects, and scheming mages."

The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association (2025)
Caitlin Rozakis
"This book knows that our kids deserve better, even if our kids are werewolves. An adorable and hilarious journey through the anxieties of parenting a magical kid enrolled in a questionable schooling system. A little apocalyptic humor reminds us that a fight at school isn't the end of the world - unless it literally is."
