Lilla the Accidental Witch is an adorable novel. It shows ideas like unconditional love through a lens that's easily understandable for children. Lilla and Dani's sibling energy is really fun. They compliment each other well.
Young children feel big emotions, and Lilla's reactions to change and to learning more about herself feel accurate to the age she's written to be. I haven't read many books set in Italy. The illustrations in the novel are beautiful and transport the reader to Italy right alongside Lilla.
