Straight Talk for Librarians: This is a light hearted, funny book about a witchy girl and her misfit friends. They are all dealing with Middle Grade insecurities in some form or other. There's an underlining message of acceptance and low-key celebration of what makes everyone unique. Everyone is riddled with self doubt at some time or other, but friends and family are there for Abby to help her find her way. The bunnies serve as a manifestation of her own insecurities. The message is pretty straightforward, but subtle enough not to be preachy. It's implied that wolf girl may have a crush on Abby.
