Synopsis

Introducing The Enchanted Files! Told in diary entries and other “documents,” this magical, modern-day new comedy series by the master of funny fantasy, Bruce Coville is filled with laugh-out-loud humor and heart.
 
In the first hilarious Enchanted Files, Angus is a brownie. No, not the kind you eat! He’s a tiny magical creature that loves to do chores. Angus has just “inherited” a new human girl, Alex. To say that Alex is messy would be an understatement. She’s a total hurricane-like disaster—and she likes it that way, thankyouverymuch! Living with each other isn’t easy but Angus and Alex soon learn there is a curse that binds them. What’s worse, it threatens Alex’s family! Working together, Angus and Alex will set out to break the curse . . . without killing each other first . . . hopefully.

Read by Euan Morton, with Nancy O’Connor, Amanda Carlin, Scott Sherratt, Joe Scalora, Tavia Gilbert, Matt Hostetler, and Arthur Bishop

Goodreads review by N.A. on December 16, 2015

This book was a fun read, but it had too many flaws to recommend. Therefore, I will list the flaws first. #1-I rate this as #1, because it is the most important. This is a children's book. The MC's age is 11. This means children 8 (and probably younger) will read this book. And yet: Before the first......more

Goodreads review by D. B. Guin on February 03, 2019

Full disclosure: I expected this to be cringey. I was wrong. Actually, it is VERY cute and good. This book is what The Boggart by Susan Cooper would have been, if it had actually been good instead of dull and weird. Thoroughly enjoyable.......more

Quotes

"A knee-slapper."—Kirkus Reviews

* "It’s not easy to merge such disparate elements as traditional Scottish lore and modern American life, but Coville brings it off with wit, style, and respect. The first volume of the Enchanted Files series is smart, amusing, and a lot of fun" —Booklist (starred review)
