What is The Magic Mates series by Jane West about?

Written and published in the late 2000s (2008–09), Jane West’s Magic Mates follows six friends through a lively sequence of comic adventures. Across twelve short, high-interest, low-reading-age books, the girls tackle school troubles, friendship dilemmas, holidays, performances, animals and the occasional spooky mystery, with each escapade building their confidence and teamwork. The series may suit primary-aged girls, reluctant readers and children developing reading fluency. Expect mild peril, bullying themes, embarrassment and playful scares, but no sustained violence or disturbing content.
