I checked this book out because it looked "cute", but I'm glad I didn't buy it. I think the biggest problem I had with it was all the talk of "white" magic and such and how Abrev is a "white witch." Sorry kids, but there is no such thing as "white" or "black" magic. Magic is neither black nor white, its what you do with it. You have your positive magic and your unethical magic, not "black" and "white" magic.
Back to the book...
If you're looking for "cutesy" protection magic, then you will love this book. I think that there should've been more explanations for some of the charms in the book; after all, if you don't know what a certain ingredient in the spell is supposed to do in your spell, how are you to know how it will affect it?
If you like "cutesy" magic books, then Abrev's "White Spells" series are perfect for you.
