Reviews
A Junior Library Guild Selection

"A gentle story of magic-tinged independence." --The Wall Street Journal

"A fantastical story of a charming witch. . . . [that] offers a glimpse into a few aspects of Japanese culture.... This new translation is perfect." --School Library Journal

"Descriptive and whimsical, and both characters' names and their appearances in Onoda's anime-inflected illustrations create a Japanese-inspired fantasy world. The characters' quirkiness creates the feeling that Kiki's future will be filled with countless friends and adventures . . . An enchanting, gently humorous all-ages family read-aloud." --Kirkus Reviews

"Kadono's endearing, encouraging novel memorably shows that though the new can be scary, it can also be wonderful and make one a better person." --Booklist
