Reviews

Another of Michelle Harrison’s amazing books. Once I begin to read I never want them to end. The three Widdershin sisters have another adventure this time with pirates, treasure, magic and mystery. Spit is my favourite character in this story as he helps the girls even though it means going against his pirate crew. I would one hundred per cent recommend this book to children and adults alike.

This was a great sequel to the first, A Pincj of Magic. The characters were good and I liked how new characters were added and that this twisted the story throughout.

Part 2 in Michelle Harrison's series. My daughters and I are making our way through these books together. A good, gripping storyline about the Widdenshins family, who seem to attract more than their fair share of bad luck! Charlie, the youngest child with a stomach like a bottomless pit, is our favourite character. Sometimes the descriptive scenes disrupt from the pace of the story, making it at times a little difficult to get through, however the characters are likeable, believable and well-developed, making the reader really care about what their fate in the end.

A cracking adventure story with magic thrown in. The Widdershin sisters receive a strange child Willow into their home one foggy night. This episode starts off a cascade of events resulting in the kidnapping of one sister, imprisonment of granny and a quest to find them. The main story is interspersed with the retelling of the Crowstone chronicles which speak of a witch, a labyrinth and how a group of brothers were enchanted on a mysterious island. The girls remember the story from bedtime telling - but is it local lore or is it real? Betty and Fliss work together in search of their sister Charlie, bringing Willow with them and encountering pirates along the way. The narrative is rich with description and the action ramps up towards the end of the book. This is an enjoyable read. Suitable for Year 5+, a follow on from A Pinch of Magic (which I am told is even better)
