Eva Evergreen is determined to earn the rank of Novice Witch before her 13th birthday. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever. For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test: One: Help your town, do good all around. Two: Live there for one moon, don't leave too soon. Three: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of tricks. The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever she overuses her magic, she falls asleep.

Bunny girls do not live in libraries. This is simply common sense. And yet, that's exactly where Sakuta finds one in the wild. More bewildering is who the bunny girl is: Mai Sakurajima, a girl one year older than Sakuta, famous at their school for her acting career even though she's currently on break. To top it all off, it seems like no one else in the library can see Mai at all, no matter what she does or...wears.

Brimming with confidence, Kiki flies to the seaside village of Koriko and expects that her powers will easily bring happiness to the townspeople.

Amazing Kid's Story
I enjoyed this listen very much. The story of Kiki, and Gigi is not unknown to me. Years ago it was on cable tv, and I watched and fell in love with the movie. I was so excited to see this advertisement on Facebook. The movie focused more on Kiki and Tombo's relationship more than the people of the town, as always, I love the book, more than the movie.

Different than the movie but still good
It is more aimed at a younger audience, but I still loved it! I didn't mind since the movie is obviously for kids as well. I think it may have had a younger tone because it is translated from Japanese, but again, I still really enjoyed it! It follows a very different story than the movie except the main idea Kiki leaving home to become an of age witch. I enjoyed the narrator and all of her voices for the characters.

So happy this story was translated!
I love Studio Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service and I'm so happy this book was translated into English. The story is sweet and Kiki is feisty, clever, and resourceful. The story is told in a storytelling kind of a way, like old stories, and in a sort of vignette style. Each chapter builds upon the next but could be it's own short story at the same time. The supporting cast isn't super complex but Kiki herself pops off the page full of life and vigor. Jiji also has his own life and is a great source of amusement.
Considering that the story is meant for middle grade, I think it did it's job admirably. I certainly wish there were more Kiki stories. I'd like to see how she furthers her relationships with those around her.

Light hearted like on a clear day.
Going into this and leaving behind my rose tinted glasses of the movie’s music and visuals was rough but refreshing and very pleasant. It’s sense of community, childish mischief, and pacing stands well for a children’s novel.
I would definitely recommend reading this then watching movie. Hopefully we get the sequels that later came out.

Very wholesome story, and the narrator is perfect
Big fan of the movie version, so when I saw it originated from a book, my curiosity was peaked. First off, the narrator is perfect, you can feel the emotions ebb and flow fluidly, I can't imagine Kiki with any other voice after this, she really brought the character to life.
Storywise, I was pleasantly surprised with the extra lore of witches and the more in depth interactions with some characters.
Definitely was a audible experience I'm thankful for. Now I want to watch the movie again knowing how much more I'll appreciate it.

I really enjoyed the story. But about an hour in it was pretty similar to the movie, and I was worried I just bought a longer audio version of the movie. I didn’t. As it continued it was charming and cute like the movie but had a different story!
