6/27/2021 ~ Interesting blend of science & observation with European medieval magic. I appreciated Sasha's use of observation, record keeping, logic & deduction as she's surrounded by magic. I'm curious about Puck - a magical sprite or a homeless, orphaned street urchin?I'll be adding to my elementary collection if the others in the series continue to offer the same quirkiness.

At 122 pages it moves right along with a good story line. I like the comparison of luck to science. I'm going to suggest it for the 2nd grader who has a higher reading level. I'm eager to see the AR level. The illustrations will help those readers. I'm also eager to see other adventures of Sasha & Puck.
ARC Copy...Hmm promising start with an interesting magical exotic flavor so far.
A charming magical adventure-mystery with a precocious and feisty girl detective-scientist! The plot was simple, but still managed to be page-turning (even for an adult!) with a story that had a lot of heart (and surprisingly mature topics like class and inequality). This is the first book of a series and there are already hints of more intriguing (and dangerous) adventure to come.
With the help of Puck, Sasha tries to save her father's potion shop as they wait and hope for Sasha's mother's return.
