Heidi is a young witch attending middle school at Broomsfield Academy, a boarding school catering to both magical and nonmagical students. Kids with magical powers must only use those skills for schoolwork, but Heidi can't always control herself, like when she's running late for class and needs to get dressed in a hurry. Her obsession with classmate Hunter McCann (aka Hunter McCutie) is threatening to take over her life. Melanie, her roommate and once her hometown enemy but now almost a friend, also has a crush on Hunter, who is actually a really nice boy. Heidi tries to hide her feelings from Melanie, but she pours out her heart to good friends Sunny and Annabelle. She also writes to Lucy, her BFF back home, about her situation. While Melanie is interested in flirting and makeup, Heidi's closest friends give her good advice: "Just be yourself." Nevertheless, Heidi keeps using witchcraft: first, growing long hair to attract Hunter (it backfires when her hair grows uncontrollably). She later attempts the love potion spell that inspires the title, hoping to isolate Hunter so that she can have him to herself. However, Heidi soon learns how harmful her behavior was. Readers looking for breezy fare will enjoy this second series installment, which uses varied size fonts, ample white space, and humorous digital grayscale illustrations. Most main characters present white. An entertaining and funny take on middle school drama with a light magical touch. (Fiction. 9-12)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
