Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

What Makes a Witch is a very quick read coming in at around 60 pages, yet every page and word is made to count. The way the story flows means you wont put it down, you will read the whole thing at once. Greer is an adorable rat who has been shunned by their family and society, at their wits end, desperate, they seeks out Mistress Addison after hearing a local witch bad mouth her. With Mistress Addison they find a kind, understanding, caring woman, a witch with incredible power. A witch who is willing to look past an exterior and try to help them achieve their goals. 

Greer goes through a lot in this tale. I enjoyed watching the character development, discovering everything along side Greer. The magic throughout is really cool and Mistress Addison is a wonderful character, I loved her accent. I absolutely loved that the characters were all animals, I thought that was so cool.

This is a book that would appeal to readers of any age, from middle grade through to adults. It's well written and engaging.

I didn't see anywhere what age this book is targeted at but I feel like it's a very good MIddle Grade book : it's short, simple and teaches one simple lesson. The lesson is that you are what you believe and feel like you are in the inside, your truth is THE truth when it comes to yourself. I liked the worldbuilding and the characters. It didn't take me too long to understand the heavy accent of Mistress Addison.

Now the story and the writing are obviously very simple so it's something to be aware of !
