In Isadora Moon Goes to School, did you enjoy ...
... the gentle, funny mishaps of starting at a magical school and finding your footing?
The Worst Witch by Jill Murphy
If you smiled at Isadora trying out fairy classes by day and vampire lessons by night before choosing what fits, you’ll love following Mildred Hubble’s first term at Miss Cackle’s Academy. Like Isadora’s wand-waving scrapes, Mildred’s spells go adorably sideways—she even turns a classmate into a pig—and the stern-but-fair teachers (hello, Miss Hardbroom) help her learn, not lose heart. It’s the same warm, school-set magic with plenty of laughs and a big-hearted finish.
... playful, sparkly magic that pops up around everyday school problems?
Heidi Heckelbeck Casts a Spell by Wanda Coven
Loved how Isadora’s fairy wand and vampire flair make ordinary school choices feel magical? In this one, Heidi secretly tries out her family spellbook to handle a new-school headache—much like Isadora’s light, fizzy magic, Heidi’s charm for dealing with a classmate doesn’t go as planned, leading to funny trouble and a sweet fix. It’s everyday school life with a sprinkle of harmless hocus-pocus.
... a quirky heroine learning she doesn’t have to pick just one way to be herself?
Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows
Isadora figures out she doesn’t have to be only a fairy or only a vampire to belong. Ivy and Bean discover the same kind of in-between magic in friendship: serious, bookish Ivy and energetic Bean seem opposite, but they team up for a backyard “spell” to deal with Bean’s bossy sister and realize they can be both unexpected and exactly themselves—together.
... the upbeat, mischievous tone that keeps even school snafus feeling sunny?
Clementine by Sara Pennypacker
If you enjoyed the cheerful, can-do vibe when Isadora navigates school jitters—with loving help from her vampire dad and fairy mom—Clementine’s voice will feel like a hug. She makes some epic goofs (like the infamous haircut fiasco), but caring adults and her own big heart steer things right, keeping the tone bright and optimistic from first hiccup to happy ending.
... magic tucked into the real world, handled with kindness and curiosity?
Dragons and Marshmallows by Asia Citro
Isadora’s world is mostly normal—until fairy wings and vampire bedtime turn choices magical. Zoey’s life is similar: one day, a bell rings and a secret door reveals a baby dragon needs help. With her cat Sassafras at her side, Zoey tests ideas in a science journal and uses gentle problem-solving to care for a magical creature. It’s cozy, low-key wonder rooted in real life.
