If you smiled when Heidi sneaked out her Book of Spells and tried a little magic to deal with Melanie Maplethorpe—only to learn a kind lesson about using magic wisely—you’ll love how Isadora Moon Goes to School mixes sparkly everyday magic with first-day jitters. Isadora has to choose which school fits her best, and her misadventures (with Pink Rabbit in tow) echo Heidi’s sweet, school-centered escapades and heart.

If Heidi’s classroom magic misfire and her rivalry with Melanie grabbed you, Mildred Hubble’s blunders at Miss Cackle’s Academy will feel delightfully familiar. In The Worst Witch, Mildred tries simple spells that go hilariously wrong, clashes with the snooty Ethel Hallow, and still finds her courage—much like Heidi learns to own her choices after that not-so-perfect spell.

Loved how Heidi keeps her witchy side secret while navigating school drama with Melanie? In The Princess in Black, Princess Magnolia hides her monster-fighting alter ego from prim visitors, dashing off to save the day with quick thinking and giggles. That mix of courage, comedy, and a big-hearted heroine mirrors Heidi’s can-do spirit when spells—and feelings—get complicated.

If the secret spellbook and hush-hush magic around Heidi’s school struck a chord, you’ll enjoy Zoey and Sassafras: Dragons and Marshmallows. Zoey discovers that injured magical creatures come to her barn, and—like Heidi learning to handle spells responsibly—she problem-solves gently and cleverly to help a baby dragon, all while keeping the magic under wraps.

If you laughed at how Heidi’s plan to get even with Melanie turns into a funny mess—and enjoyed her back-and-forth with her brother Henry—you’ll adore Dory Fantasmagory. Dory’s wild imagination creates laugh-out-loud scrapes at home and school, with schemes that spiral just like Heidi’s spell gone awry, and a warm resolution that keeps the smiles coming.
