Kyana lives with her single mom and grandma in the inner-city. Her mom works several jobs and her grandma kind of runs the house. When Kyana turns 12 and discovers she is a witch, she finds out her family has had witches in it for a long time. She also discovers there has been magic all around her neighborhood, that she now can see. She starts to attend magic school in the back of a hair salon and she is excited to start to learn all the different skills and specialties she can until the funding for her school disappears. She comes up with an idea to enter a baking contest to win money to fund the school, but when she adds a little magic in things go horribly wrong.
Loved this telling about family, hard work and not judging people from first impressions. This is the first book in the series of Park Row Magic Academy. Grades 5 and up.
