Description
_______________ 'This is a witch story like no other - and it's a blast!' - Bookseller 'Brilliantly magical' - Tom Fletcher Book Club _______________ The second book in the hilarious Witch Wars series for kids aged 7+, perfect for fans of The Worst Witch. Tiga Whicabim is settling in to the witchy, glitzy world of Ritzy City. Peggy is Top Witch, and Tiga is enjoying life at the Brews' house with Fluffanora. But when Fran the Fabulous Fairy visits Linden House and finds Peggy has gone - leaving behind only a note to say she is 'AWAY WITH THE FAIRIES' and has left the evil Felicity Bat in charge - the girls realise something is very wrong. And then witches all across town start to disappear. Tiga and Fluffanora set out to investigate and discover an old, unsolved Sinkville mystery that might just be the key to it all.
Author Biography
Sibeal Pounder is the author of the bestselling Witch Wars and Bad Mermaids series of books. Her debut, Witch Wars, was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Bad Mermaids Meet the Witches was a 2019 World Book Day title and a Sunday Times bestseller and has been optioned by Sony Animation. She has also written Beyond Platform 13, a sequel to Eva Ibbotson's The Secret of Platform 13, and her latest book Tinsel is all about a young girl called Blanche Claus and asks the question: what if a long time ago we all got the Santa story a bit wrong? Previously Sibeal worked as a journalist, writing for publications including the Guardian and Vogue Online and was a philanthropy columnist for the Financial Times. Laura Ellen Anderson is a professional children's book author and illustrator, with an increasing addiction to coffee (that is when she's not trying to take over the world or fighting sock-stealing monsters). She spends every waking hour creating and drawing and would quite like to live on the moon when humans finally make it possible. Laura is also the author-illustrator of the Amelia Fang series.
ReviewsWitch Switch... is also far madder and funnier than it is scary. In this second title in the Witch Wars Adventure series, Tiga Whicabim is well on her way to becoming a witch. But there is much that can stand in her way including Felicity Bat and Aggie Hoof who's intentions are far from admirable! Magic and mayhem rule in this ebullient romp of an adventure. -- Julia Eccleshare * The Guardian * This book is hilarious, making me laugh out loud. It is a brilliant sequel to Witch Wars because the stories fit together like jigsaw pieces. * Guardian Child Reviewer * Silly spells, delectable dresses, magical mishaps and ridiculous riddles, this is a witch story like no other - and it's a blast! * Bookseller on Witch Wars * A completely fresh and fun take on witches, Witch Wars is for anyone who likes magic, adventure, fashion or a fabulous story * Booktrust * The craziest and funniest book I've read in ages. WITCH WARS IS A GO! * Andy Stanton, author of Mr Gum * This is a witchy story unlike any other, full of fun and hilarity. * Parents in Touch *
