The Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association

By Caitlin Rozakis

Book Overview

From the NYT-bestselling author of Dreadful, Big Little Lies goes to magic school, cozy fantasy perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Olivia Atwater and Heather Fawcett. Featuring orange sprayed and stencilled edges, with magic symbols, unicorns and baked goods from the book.

Two parents and their recently-bitten-werewolf daughter try to fit into a privileged New England society of magic aristocracy. But deadly terrors await them - ancient prophecies, remorseless magical trials, hidden conspiracies and the PTA bake sale.

When Vivian's kindergartner, Aria, gets bitten by a werewolf, she is rapidly inducted into the hidden community of magical schools. Reeling from their sudden move, Vivian finds herself having to pick the right sacrificial dagger for Aria, keep stocked up on chew toys, and play PTA politics with sirens and chthonic nymphs and people who literally can set her hair on fire.

As Vivian careens from hellhounds in the school corridors to demons at the talent show, she races to keep up with all the arcane secrets of her new society--shops only accessible by magic portal, the brutal Trials to enter high school, and the eternal inferno that is the parents' WhatsApp group.

And looming over everything is a prophecy of doom that sounds suspiciously like it's about Aria. Vivian might be facing the end of days, just as soon as she can get her daughter dressed and out of the door...

Customer Reviews

Magic, prophecies, and kindergarten!

I absolutely had a hoot when I read Dreadful and so when I saw that this book was coming out, I had to read it too. And I must say I found it just as fun, cozy, lighthearted, and entertaining! It would be really tough to move to a new town, with very different traditions and views (not to mention species, and magic!) after the horrible incident when a rogue werewolf attacks your child and turns them. But I admire Vivian and Daniel for doing so, especially when the new school ends up with some crazy testing, a ancient prophecy might be coming to pass involving Aria, and yet there is still the clique of parents to try to get to know, and lots of cattiness, as well as the odd rock thrown through windows and the stress of getting some very interesting school supplies for kindergarteners. It was a wonderful story where good wins, Vivian, Daniel, and Aria learn a new way of life, and make the right kinds of friends, plus learn a bit of magic themselves. I loved the school announcements at the beginning of the chapters and how sometimes you don't need magic to save the day (or at least the financial accounts!) Lots of laughs, touching moments, important learning moments (like not everything is your fault!) and a wonderfully fun story to read! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to get lost in this charming tale and I will definitely be looking out for more books that this author writes!
