“Blending magical adventure with Golden Age crime mystery, this delightfully atmospheric spin-off from the author of The Last Chance Hotel confirms Thornton’s place as one of the most original children’s writers around.”
Waterstones
A school plagued by curses. A witch who cannot do magic.
And one cat who believes she is the world’s best magical detective.
When bad things start to happen in Raven Charming’s school, rumours build that it must be the local witch.
But Raven has a secret. She knows exactly who the local with is – it’s her sister, Rookery, because the Charmings are a family of witches. But can it really be her sister who is to blame for all the unpleasant things that are happening? Or is there another witch in town?
Raven must find out before her sister’s secret is exposed, even though Raven has another shameful secret of her own to keep – she’s the only witch in her family who cannot do magic.
