Klasky emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and having faith in friends and family in her bewitching second romance featuring fledgling witch Jane Madison (after Girl’s Guide to Witchcraft
). Young librarian Jane believes getting into the elite Washington Coven, ruled by the prodigious Teresa Alison Sidney, is of major importance. If Jane wants to hold on to her familiar, her valuable book and gemstone collection and
David Montrose, her hunky protector and instructor, she has to meet the coven’s standards for knowledge and skill. When slickly seductive Graeme Henderson starts laying it on suspiciously thick, and David insists that friendly coven witch Haylee can’t be trusted, Jane must decide what’s most important: trying to impress the popular coven snobs, or taking control of her power and doing what she knows is best for herself. Klasky’s moral lesson is obvious, but readers who identify with Jane’s remembered high school social angst will cheer her all the way.

In Girls Guide to Witchcraft (2006), librarian Jane Madison made the startling discovery that she was a witch. This time around, she has to hone her powers in order to be admitted to the powerful Washington Coven. If Jane fails the test the coven lays out for hersetting the centerstone of their safeholdshell lose all her magical books and her familiar, her cat-statue-turned-human-roommate Neko. Aided by her warder, David, Jane begins her work, but shes distracted by Graeme Henderson, a dashing Englishman who has taken an interest in both Jane and her powers. As her desire to become part of the covens inner clique grows, Jane finds herself on the outs with her best friend, her mother, and grandmother, whose lesser powers the Coven elite look down on. Unfortunately, much of the delicious sexual tension that existed between Jane and David in the first entry has dissipated, but readers will be drawn in by the sorority-like coven and Janes romance with the mysterious Graeme.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
