Quick Summary
In Maggie Sparks and the School of Slime, we again meet Maggie Sparks, a spunky little witch. Maggie Sparks does not want to go to Peregrine Elementary School, but when her old school is shut down, she has no choice.
Then Maggie meets her new teacher, and she is appalled. She knows her teacher must be a vampire, but no one else agrees with her.
To top it off, the students of Peregrine Elementary School are mean, but Maggie is sure a little magic can fix everything.

What I Love About Maggie Sparks and the School of Slime
I love the strength of our young heroine, Maggie. Her indomitable spirit and imagination stand out to me. She doesn’t back down from a fight and is loyal to her friend Arthur.
She is the type of student that keeps teachers on their toes.
I also like that while this is part of the Maggie Sparks series, it can be read as a stand-alone book.
What Could Have Been Better?
Nothing! It was perfect. As a parent and teacher, I completely approve of this book. I enjoyed it and recommend it to parents as a great book to read at bedtime.
Favorite Character
Maggie! Maggie’s imagination, loyalty to her best friend, and refusal to submit to bullies make her my favorite character.
Her comebacks are to die for.

When parents have to screen the content children are exposed to, Maggie Sparks and the School of Slime is one that every parent should approve of.
