Diaries of an Santa Mira Witch

Diaries of an Santa Mira Witch is an American novel series created and written by Maryam Wells. The series is an prequel series to the popular Teen Witch of Santa Mira series.

Premise
Unlike the previous series, Teen Witch of Santa Mira, Kat Martin in this series is depicted as a preteen attending middle school. As in the original series, Kat lives with her mother, Olivia. It is considered a spin-off of the teen version series and borrows certain elements from it, but is set in a different continuity, as it contradicts the live-action show's premise of Kat not knowing about magic prior to the beginning of the Teen Witch of Santa Mira series.

Most episodes center on the typical problems of middle school, along with those that stemmed from Kat's inexperience with or misuse of various magic, witchcraft, and extremely powerful and complex spells. Sabrina and her best friend Chloe would often use magic (often from the "Spooky Jar"; a cookie jar containing a genie-like being in the family's kitchen) for all sorts of perceived emergencies, ranging from trying to fit into skinny new clothes to turning Sabrina's crush Harvey into a superhero. By the end of each episode, her innate magical abilities would unintentionally backfire and Sabrina would learn that using magic usually is not the solution to her day-to-day problems.
