The third book of this graphic novel series follows the young witch Effie as she leaves her beloved aunts and friends to bond with nature and make new friends(?) at summer camp. Wherever Effie is, mayhem and funny situations follow. This time there is a panda bear (a very lovable  new character) and Effie learns that she has a green thumb.  When the lake becomes primary to the plot development, we learn that even witches have fears. The illustrations bring the story to life with colorful drawings and expressive faces. A fun story that is sure to please middle grade readers and have them clamor for more titles in the series, perhaps even a second book set at . Reading the first two novels in the series will add depth to Effie’s story, but it is not necessary to have read those in order to enjoy this title.  Add the series to middle grade school libraries and place on the juvenile graphic novel shelves in public libraries.
