Description
Sisters, secrets and spellbinding adventure . . . the perfect magical world to cosy up with this Christmas! The Widdershins sisters, Betty, Fliss and Charlie are trapped, prevented from leaving their home on Crowstone by an ancient family curse. When they inherit three magical objects with the power to change their fate, adventure beckons. But are they being led into even greater danger? Join the Widdershins sisters and break the family curse in the first Pinch of Magic Adventure, shortlisted for the 2020 British Book Awards, selected as Waterstones Children's Book of the Month and Barnes and Noble Young Readers pick of the month, and winner of the Dutch Bronze PEN award. Continue the adventures with A Sprinkle of Sorcery, A Tangle of Spells and A Storm of Sisters. Praise for the Pinch of Magic Adventures 'A spellbinding story, steeped in magic. I adored it.'

Such great writing!' Peter Bunzl 'I love Michelle Harrison - I hadn't read much fantasy but this series hooked me! Brilliant writing, beautiful!' Lisa Thompson 'Simply phenomenal' Sophie Anderson 'The wry enchantment of an E. Nesbit classic' Guardian 'Fantasy and adventure appear on every page of this spellbinding tale' Daily Mail
