This one did not charm me. But Trixie’s baby sister having the name Abby Cadabra is enough for an added star. I really enjoyed that name. I guess this would be a good book for kids experiencing sibling rivalry.But, I kind of hated the artwork and I was mildly amused and touched during a small portion of this story, but overall I didn’t enjoy it. If it hadn’t been such a fast read I wouldn’t have finished it.For kids who like the art and this type of story, I’m sure it’s a hit.Except for Peanuts

An even more junior 'Scary Godmother'. In fact I'm convinced that Magic Trixie is Scary Godmother as a kid. That's my head canon.'Magic Trixie' is a cute, funny little Halloween comic for children. For fantasy, it deals with real issues at school, and in families; specifically jealousy over a baby sibling. I'm all for little witches in any medium, and this treat quenched my first. Trixie, she with the frizzy hair, is so fun, moody and boisterous, but caring deep down. I love it. She reminded me

Jill Thompson's comic book introducing none other than the main character of Magic Trixie, a spunky little witch and her cat Scratch, as they dance through life with friends at family. Magic Trixie belongs to a family of witches, running a restaurant called Elixer, which is in the first floor of her house. She goes to "Monsterstorri" School with her fellow monster classmates. It is an absolutely darling story with such inventive characters, a treasure in the graphic novels to read aloud and shar...

Every. Single. Page. of this children's graphic novel is filled with full color reproductions of Jill Thompson's watercolor illustrations. Holy Gosh are they gorgeous. And the story is light and cute--in a city somewhat resembling New York or Chicago but with monster denizens and other cute/creepy touches, Magic Trixie and her family live above their cafe. I would guess that Magic Trixie is maybe 6 or 7 years old. She's very excitable and wants nothing more than to learn more magic and impress h...

Magic Trixie is a little witch who has growing pains just like all kids. At home, she's frustrated that she can't do anything fun, while her baby sister gets away with everything. And then at school, all her friends seem to have the coolest tricks to share. So when her teacher tells them it's share and tell day, Magic Trixie knows she has to find a really special trick to impress all her friends.Magic Trixie is bursting with color, action and emotion. The illustrations are bright and energetic,

As a long-time fan of and all things magical from a very young age, I would have flipped my lid had this series been around when I was in elementary school. As it is, I still might need to own them all...soon. I love the hipster elements of Trixie's family: Dad has long black hair and a goatee, Grandma wears chic chunky black glasses and chunky green jewelry, and older cousin Tansy has hip purple pigtails. It's all very 1950's meets punk rock. Colorful! (I think Jill Thompson might secretly...

Oh, Magic Trixie... What to say about Magic Trixie? My niece liked this book, and said it was just as good as Chi's Sweet Home, and I will admit that it's a fun, unique, cute, often humorous story. I really thought that the illustrations in this one were rather fabulous, too.While I liked this story, I don't think I really liked Trixie herself all that much. She was annoying, and a little bit of a trouble maker, I thought. Or maybe she was just a spastic little (witch) girl, not unlike some litt...

Very cute graphic novel. About a witch who has to figure what she is going to bring to show and tell at school. All the while, at home, no one takes her seriously because she’s too young. B+

I came across this graphic novel at the library as the cover caught my attention. Trixie is a little witch that attends Monstersorri School with a Frankenstein Monster, twin vampires, a werewolf, and a mummy, their teacher is a ghost. Next week, is Show-and-Tell week and Trixie’s day is Friday. She’s told all of her friends that she’s going to bring something different, something that none of them could ever bring! The problem is, Trixie has no idea what that is.It seems that Trixie’s friends ha...

Fast and easy read. I understand Magic Trixie's attitude towards her sister. The ending was expected but still good. Overall I still enjoyed reading it. I love the graphics. Im new to reading graphic novels and suprisingly I enjoyed this one. :)

A familiar family drama, all dressed up in witchy clothing, Magic Trixie follows its eponymous young heroine as, fed up by the seemingly inordinate amount of attention being paid to her baby sister, Abby Cadabra, and worried that she will have nothing worthwhile to display, during her upcoming turn at show-and-tell, she hatches a harebrained scheme to solve both of her 'problems.' Fortunately, Magic Trixie's classmates have a very different perspective on Abby Cadabra; and her feline companion,

You know how you'll be prepared to dislike something and then, through no fault of your own, you are forced to take a close and in-depth look at the very thing you were trying to avoid? Well there was nothing about the cover or premise of Magic Trixie that initially appealed to me. First off, it was being sold as a graphic novel that would appeal to the Babymouse set. And since I am Babymouse faithful, this was not an appealing notion to me. Then to look at it, the book is colorful. Incredibly

In this adorable graphic novel, Magic Trixie is annoyed that her family seems to give all of their attention to her baby sister, and worried that her friends all have something super-cool that they are doing at school. Maybe for show-and-tell she can impress her friends by changing her baby sister into something else?Having a witch and warlock for parents--and vampires, werewolves, mummies, and a pieced-together boy as friends--means that Magic Trixie is always involved in something amazing.

Cute beginning graphic novel.

Super cute youth graphic novel about a little witch coping with a new sister. Love Trixie’s hair, the art is bright, fun and clever. It’s kind of a monster mash, so could be a fun pre-halloween read.

Cute, great art, but very thin on story. Definitely aimed at the six-year-old audience, who will likely enjoy it, but not much for an older crowd to chew on if you're reading to the tots.

Very fun kids book that adults can love.

Humor, thrills, and a lesson learned. A fun read any time of the year!
