Plot & Cast
Main characters of the series are Kelly (portrayed by Olivia Sanabia), Darbie (played by Abby Donnelly), and Hannah (portrayed by Aubrey Miller). One day, while looking for Kelly’s brother in the attic, they find an ancient book with numerous recipes in it. The names of the recipes are strange and the ingredients for them are even more unusual. After an extraordinary accident with a piece of a shortcake eaten by Kelly’s brother they get that what they deal with is real magic. Eventually they understand that every spell results in new consequences.
Now the girls have to do the investigation of the way the recipes influence them. They also must resist the temptation to use them without any special need, cause every time they do it they have to deal with new unpredictable circumstances. They must overcome new challenges appearing at middle school on their own.
However, there’s a certain reason for Kelly to use magic: her goal is to fix her grandmother’s strange illness (grandma portrayed by Dee Wallace) using one of the recipes from the book (however, she needs to find out which one exactly). Throughout the series, she also has to stand the horrible Mamma P (portrayed by Amy Hill) and creepy Ms. Silvers (played by Ellen Karsten).
