Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough


Age Level: Young Adult
Format: Book

Tamsin Greene feels she does not fit into her family...all of her family members are witches, and she is not. While working in her grandmother’s bookshop one day, Tamsin meets a man who wants her help finding a lost object. Because her family is known to find lost objects, and she wants to prove her worth to her family, she agrees to help him. Little does she know, this simple agreement leads to life changing events, including finding out the truth about herself and the truth behind her family’s past.

An exceptionally fast read, I absolutely enjoyed reading Once a Witch. I like Tamsin, who while trying to prove her worth to her family also learns a lot of lessons that will help shape her personality and truly understand her role in her family. There’s adventure, romance, fantasy and humor throughout the novel.  Readers interested in fantasy novels, and novels especially about witches, should check out this book. 

This is the first book in a two book series; the second book Always a Witch is just as fun to read.
