Step into the magical world of Hedgewitch, where the land of Faerie lies just beyond our own, in this enchanting new series for children age 9+ and readers of Nevermoor, The Worst Witch and The Dark Is Rising.
Cassie Morgan has run away. After seven years spent waiting for her mother to return, she flees her dreary boarding school and sets out to find her. But the world outside her school is full of hidden magic and children have been going missing.
With the help of a talking cat and a flying broom, Cassie escapes to the enchanted village of Hedgely. There she will begin her training in the practical skills of witchcraft with the Hedgewitch, who watches over the Hedge, the vast forest that marks the border between England and Faerie.
Will Cassie discover the truth about her mother? Can she find the lost faery treasures before the wicked Erl King gets his hands on them? And what will it take to save her new home – and Britain itself – from the shadowing magic of Faerie?
MY THOUGHTS
I had heard of this book but had not heard much about it and saw it was on kindle unlimited so thought I would read it and see if I liked it and I did it said that the age range was 9 years plus and I think that is appropriate. The story starts with Cassandra who everyone calls Cassie hiding in a cupboard from the hockey team at her school as the leader keeps bullying her, then we hear about a missing girl from her school who was out shopping with her mum when she disappears and no one knows where she can be. Cassie ends up being called to the principal’s office to be told they think her mum is dead as Cassie hasn’t seen her for seven years and she has also stopped paying cassie’s tuition which means she will have to go to a care home as she has no other family so Cassie decides to run away. And that is where the story really begins I won’t spoil it for anyone else but it was good if a little unbelievable in some places but it’s a book I would recommend if you like Harry Potter and the morrigan crowe books.
