Diary of an Accidental Witch: Flying High

Description

A perfect potion of magic and mischief, the second book in the Diary of an Accidental Witch series is The Worst Witch meets Tom Gates. Monday 1st November There's only fifty days until the Winter Solstice, the longest and witchiest night of the year. But before that there's the Grand Tournament - the biggest and sportiest day in the witchy calendar! And I can't wait! Bea Black is all settled into her new life in Little Spellshire, a town with a magical secret. She's made tonnes of friends at witch school, learned how to levitate frogs (just about) and been working hard on polishing up her broom skills. So when the Winter Solstice Grand Tournament rolls round, she's ready to rise to the next challenge and fly high. But then Ms Sparks decides that this year's tournament will be a bit ... er ... different. That is, it won't be an Extraordinary Grand Tournament at all, but rather a very ordinary sports day with Spellshire Academy! With magic firmly forbidden and rivalry reaching new heights, who will emerge victorious? And more importantly, will Bea's friendship with her best non-witchy friend Ash survive the competition?
