“A fox and a bear take on bumbling witch kidnappers and the NYPD’s Chief Magic Detector to protect a magical baby and the witches of New York”

Olaf, the bear, and Essex, the fox, along with their friend Baby, the cat, come together to care and protect this magical baby from more than just bad witches.

If you like cozy fall reads, magic, animals, and finding a family of your own, this is the perfect book for you!

This book was the cutest thing I have ever read. This is a children’s/middle grade book that anyone can enjoy and appreciate. Loved the journey it took us on and the illustrations! It deals with some tough topics in such a beautiful way. This is a story, not only of protecting this magical baby, but also of friendship, and love. A story of life and death and the magic of the world. Such a perfect book to read while cozied up by the fire with some hot cocoa. Definitely recommend!! :)
