Books Included in This Collection:
Leila, the Perfect Witch
Leila Wayward is an extraordinary little witch who excels at everything she does. She’s the fastest flier, the most cunning conjurer, and the sneakiest shape-shifter in her family’s magical line. Yet her grand dream—winning the Magnificent Witchy Cake-Off—highlights a humbling truth: even the best witches need practice. When Leila discovers that her three magical sisters are there to help, she learns that collaboration, not solo brilliance, yields the sweetest results. This story celebrates perseverance, family, and the joy of sharing your gifts with others. 60–100 words.

Vlad, the Fabulous Vampire
Vlad is a fabulous vampire whose true color isn’t the darkness of his cape but the blush of his pink cheeks. Fashion-forward and forever in black, Vlad longs to feel perfectly himself and blush-worthy at last. Through friendship and self-acceptance, he discovers that confidence isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about embracing your unique traits and letting them shine. A story of individuality, style, and courage, Vlad’s world proves that being yourself is the most fabulous look of all. 60–100 words.

Gustavo, the Shy Ghost
Gustavo is a ghost with a violin and a heart full of melody, but shyness keeps him from joining in. He can pass through walls and glow with music, yet he longs to be seen and to share his song with friends.
