Stonewitch

Review by Alex A
A witchy, cosy mystery-adventure in the Hedgewitch series. The coven are visiting the Scottish highlands for the Covenmoot games, to compete against other witches from all over England. When they’re hijacked by a myserious being, rumoured to be the work of the ancient Stonewitch, it’s up to Cassie and the crew to investigate further! Full of folklore, friendship dynamics and magical drama, these are excellent for 8-12 year old fans of Crookhaven and Enid Blyton.
