Bea’s Witch

Beatrice, known as Bea by her friends, is an orphan. In her 12 years, she has lived in several foster homes but dreams of the day she is reunited with her birth mother. She currently lives with her adoptive mother, Denise, who tries to make a comfortable home for Bea. Just before her birthday, Bea decides she has had enough and runs away. She gets to the park and meets a kind older woman. What she doesn’t realize is the woman is a powerful witch.

In my opinion Bea is a rebel. She feels abandoned and does not want to get close to anyone else in fear she will be left again. She doesn’t make friends easily because if she must move to another home, what is the point of making friends. This book is fast paced, the characters are developed, and it is written in first person point of view. The book shows that what you want and what you need might not be the same. I enjoyed reading this book and hope you will too.
