First book in series “Kit the Wizard.” First published in the UK. Three friends fight a developer who wants to tear down the library. Kit doesn’t like to read and would much rather be having adventures outdoors. Her friends, Alita and Josh, convince her to visit the library with them. Kit discovers magical properties within the books and into wizarding adventures. The author weaves magical elements from familiar books to create a fast-moving and fun story. Not quite a beginning chapter book but simple and engaging enough for novice chapter book readers.
