A Witch Alone

Book Synopsis

Arianwyn is back for another thrilling adventure in the second APPRENTICE WITCH book – Studio Ghibli meets Diana Wynne Jones!

During an eventful holiday in Kingsport, Arianwyn is recruited for an important mission: to retrieve the Book of Quiet Glyphs from its hiding place in the Great Wood.

But as she returns home to Lull, feyling refugees gather outside the town walls and hex plagues the forest.

As tensions lead to fall-outs with her friends, town squabbles and magical mishaps, Arianwyn faces a sobering truth: she alone can find the Book, and wield its secrets …

A bewitching series set in a world of domestic magic – a refreshingly small-world fantasy perfect for readers aged 9 and up.

A spellbinding read, tapping into important themes of overcoming failure and building self-esteem.

Filled with thrills, pesky magical conundrums, outlandish creatures and an enchanted forest, yet retains its warm soul and earthy charm!
