Carnegie Medal-winner Melvin Burgess returns with a young adult fantasy in which Bea discovers her powers as a witch, contrary to her desire to just get on with her life and get closer to the mysterious Lars from the skate park. A thrilling adventure about magic, myth and following your instincts.
Bea has started to hear and see things that no one else can – creatures, voices, visions. Then strangers visit Bea and tell her she is different: she has the rare powers of a witch. All Bea wants to do is get on with her life, and to get closer to Lars, the mysterious young man she has met at the skate park.
