I really wanted to like this. I love the illustrations and all the color. But I hate the main character. Evelyn, is just a little girl, all of 7 years old. She was abandoned at birth because her purple hair is the sign of a witch. She was raised by nuns, and you would think she might be sweet and nice, but no, she’s a little snot. She is always playing pranks on the nuns and just is a terror. They send her off to apprentice which has its own complications. There is a trigger warning for suicide. It’s at the beginning of the book, and is what helps create Evelyn in the first place. Over all this book is not for me. Someone will like it, but please, while this looks like a kids book, don’t hand it to a kid.
