"Not everything is what it seems in this fun middle grade adventure fantasy! Think 13 Going on 30 mixed with a dash of Hocus Pocus . . . Fair warning: you will want to eat ice cream constantly while reading. Love the cherry skull on the cover giving a hint that some witchy business is afoot!"

"Magic, mystery, evil witches, and a crippling curse! This book is for ages 9 and up and will probably require plenty of ice cream to go with!"

"How cute is this book? Even the name Ms. Mulligan and the Enchanted Ice Cream is adorable. Many parents are already sending their kiddos back to school. This would make a great book to add to your young readers list!!!"
​
"Look, I was totally pumped to read this. It seemed like the CUTEST storyline, and thankfully it totally was! I LALALA LOVE that others in the tour have compared it to 13 going on 30, Freaky Friday, 17 again.. Because it was so much that, AND MORE."
​
"Since this was an upper elementary/middle grades novel, I recruited my 9-year-old daughter to read this with me . . . It was fun, entertaining, and moved pretty quickly; all requirements for a 9-year-old audience . . . I thought it was cute as a button. My daughter thought it was “intriguing and mysterious” (she pulled out the big words just for you guys!) . . . Overall, it was a great story and I enjoyed the chance to connect with my girl over books. We laughed, we almost cried, and then we ate ice cream!"

"I'm giving this book a solid 4 stars but I'm also going to say that I hope this really is the start of a series and I am excited to read the next book which is Ms. Mulligan doing her thing with the Council of Butterflies . . .it's a little Nancy Drew with a little Magic Treehouse, a little Harry Potter lite, a whole lot of fun."
​
"The story starts off with a bang as Tabby wakes up in the body of an adult. I will pulled into the story right from the get-go . . . As with every great story, there was a perfect combination of protagonists and antagonists . . .Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade readers would be perfect for the book."
​
​
"A fun mix of magic, young friends on an adventure, and evil trying to take them down at every turn makes for a great read! . . . After giving it a go, I realized how enchanting and enjoyable this was going to be. Young readers will enjoy this book and find themselves wanting more . . ."
​
"You know those movies like 13 going on 30, or 17 Again, Freaky Friday and so on? Yeah, those kind of movies where people wake up in someone else's body and then a hilarious plot ensues as they try to figure out what happened and how to get through that day or week or whatever it may be. I absolutely love those kind of movies and this book reminded me of them, big time . . . It also gave me huge Nancy Drew vibes which I love as well, so all around, the minute I opened the book I knew I was going to enjoy it."
"I loved how Ms. Mulligan takes a job as a teacher and the situations this creates! This would be the perfect book for a late elementary to early middle school reader who enjoys a bit of mystery that unravels family secrets... with best friends to help you through."
​
"For a young reader, this book really had it all. Friendships, a mystery, a secret society, a little bit of creepiness, and humor. The three girls really had a fun relationship, and when Tabby turned into a grown-up, the friendship continued . . . overall, the story was cute and entertaining. Age-wise, I think ages 9-12 is the right recommendation!"
Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers
"Think the movie BIG with a witchy twist. Hey, it's just a bunch of hocus pocus, right? . . . In the end, we discover that while wishes are mighty and words hold much power, it's the intent that really counts...for better or worse."
​
​
"I think you would like this book if you like magical books and books with a lot of situations going on at once. I also like that if magic like that existed, the author made it sound realistic."

"If you have a girl in the middle grade age range (8-12) who likes all things mystical, then she will probably enjoy Ms. Mulligan and the Enchanted Ice Cream. Full of magic and fantasy elements, this is a fast paced book that will keep kids turning the pages. There is plenty going on between Tabby navigating her new adult world, trying to keep a pretty gigantic secret, and investigating some really strange stuff in an effort to find out what happened to her. . . . Overall Ms. Mulligan and the Enchanted Ice Cream was cute and funny, with lots of action and mystery that will keep a young reader’s attention."
​
"This is middle school drama with tons of magic and adventure thrown in. Tabby is a delight to follow as she tries to come to terms with her situation and figure things out. Even when circumstances race out of control with her parents, witches, curses and everything else, she handles it very well for a twelve year old. She's fun to cheer for until the very end. . . . The book flows nicely and presents very realistic middle grade characters. Tabby's friends are true blue and have personalities all of their own, which help form a fun trio. . . . It's a fun story with lots of imagination and is sure to be enjoyed by readers who love a little adventure, school drama, and magic."
