    About this ebook

    Introducing Heidi Heckelbeck—a brand-new young chapter book series with witchy whimsy!

    Now readers between the ages of five and seven can read chapter books tailor-made for a younger level of reading comprehension. Heavily illustrated with large type, Little Simon's young chapter books let young readers feel like they are reading a “grown-up” format with subject, text, and illustrations geared specifically for their own age groups!

    Heidi Heckelbeck seems like any other eight-year-old, but she has a secret: She’s a witch in disguise. Careful to keep her powers hidden (but excited to use them all the same), Heidi’s learning to live like any other kid—who just happens to be witch. And with easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, Heidi Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.

    Heidi and her brother Henry have always been homeschooled—until now. But Heidi is not happy about attending Brewster Elementary, especially not when meanie Melanie Maplethorpe turns Heidi’s first day of school into a nightmare by announcing that Heidi is smelly and ruining her art project. Heidi feels horrible and never wants to go back to school—but while sulking in her room at home, she remembers her special medallion and Book of Spells. With a little bit of carefully concealed magic, Heidi might be able to give Melanie a taste of her own medicine….

      Background: Heidi Heckelback is going to school for the first time, before her mother had home-schooled her. She is very upset about the whole idea. Heidi Heckelback has a Secret chronicles her first day of school and the interested and annoying people she meets while there…and then we learn her secret.

      Review: This was a great read; young girls will love to read this. Heidi is cute and moody but she is a normal girl trying to fit in and her younger brother is encouraging and honest. The illustrations are nicely drawn, very entertaining and go along with the story well; and the writing is easy to follow and spaced nicely for beginning readers. Her secret at the end is wonderful and will keep young people wanting more.

    Heidi Heckelbeck Has a Secret - Wanda Coven

    GROUCHY

    Heidi Heckelbeck woke up in the Kingdom of Gloom.

    Grouchy Land.

    Grumpsville, USA.

    Heidi felt like the princess of Crankypants. Because not only was it the first day of school—it was her first day of school EVER.

    Heidi had never been to school before. She had always had school at home with her five-year-old brother, Henry. Mom had been their teacher. But starting today Heidi Heckelbeck would be a brand-new second grader at Brewster Elementary.

    Mom popped her head into Heidi’s room. Time to get up! she sang.

    Merg! growled Heidi.

    She flumped her pillow on top of her face. A million questions swirled in her head. What if the teacher was mean? What if she couldn’t find her way to the bathroom? What if she sat next to a boy who picked his nose?

    Heidi dragged herself out of bed and got dressed. She put on her black jean skirt with her kitty cat top. Then she wiggled into her black-and-white- striped tights and black sneakers. Not even her favorite outfit made her feel cheery. She plodded downstairs.

    Mom placed a happy-face pancake in front of Heidi. It had blueberry eyes, a mouth of raspberries, and sausage eyebrows.

    Heidi stuck out her tongue at her pancake.

    It’s still smiling, said Henry.

    Heidi used her fork to move the food around.

    Not anymore, said Heidi.

    Mom! yelled Henry. Heidi made a mad-face pancake!

    Heidi rolled her eyes.

    You know what? said Henry as he dipped a sausage in syrup. "You
