About this title

Review:

The quality of the writing is uniformly high ... and the range of themes and subjects is wide and highly imaginative. It's a perfect Halloween read but also an inspirational introduction to the wider world of fantasy writing - bridging the gap between children's and adult fiction. (Daily Mail)

There's a witchy figure to suit everyone in this sparkling collection of short stories, but when you pick it up, expect the unexpected (We Love This Book)

This collection contains stories about friendship, love and family, but, most importantly, they are all also about witches (Recommended Reads, Children's Books Ireland)

The joy of this book is that each of the stories in it adds something new to our idea of what a witch might be... This is a varied, imaginative, and well-crafted collection ... and will appeal to all readers, not only those who already have a taste for the fantastic. (Booktrust)
