Description

One aspiring writer plus one magic book. It all adds up to a whole lot of trouble.

Polly Diamond is back in the third book about the magical mix-ups of Polly and her notebook, Spell!

In this delightfully funny and magical chapter book series, Polly and Spell have all kinds of adventures together because whatever Polly writes in Spell comes true! But when they join forces to help get the best class pet ever, they get more than they bargained for. Can Polly come up with the right words to save the day?

EVERYDAY MAGIC: A creative mashup of relatable family and school life with just a dash of magic make this series a hit with early chapter book readers.

INSPIRES A LOVE OF BOOKS: Kids will love Polly and adults will love that Polly inspires a love of reading. Filled with book lists, these books will have readers searching the shelves for Polly’s favorite titles.
