Below are what customers have said about Just Add Magic:

· "Perfect for my 8 year old daughter, a blend of cooking and magic, two of her favorite things, as well as an interesting, immersive storyline that is not too complicated for her to follow. I also love the values that are reflected in the story- the importance of family and friends, following your heart, and being brave in the face of fear."

· "The power of three, links to the past, and young women who have special powers are familiar tropes, but Just Add Magic manages to bring a remarkably fresh perspective to these well-worn paths... Amazon has been producing very good series for young adults, and these shows are a compelling reason to keep or start a Prime membership."

· "I am 10 years old, and I watched this with my 7-year-old sister, 4-year-old brother, and my mom. We knew this show would be a winner after we watched the first episode! We love the magic of the cookbook, and the mysteriousness around the magic! This show keeps us wanting more with cliff hangers and a mystery at the end of every show! There have been many plot twists that add to the excitement. We love to try to figure out what will happen in the next show, and what Mama P is planning next."

· "Great movie for my daughter. I even sat down and watched the entire first season with her.... And in one weekend. It has everything: good values, suspense, intrigue, mystery, life lessons, friendship, and of course magic."
