Hedgewitch

First in a magical five-book series for readers of Nevermoor; The Worst Witch and The Dark Is Rising.

It has been seven years since Cassie Morgan last saw her mother. Left at a dreary boarding school; she spends her days hiding from the school bully and reading forbidden story books about the world of Faerie.

Certain that her mother is still alive; Cassie is determined to find her; whatever the dangers; and runs away from school. Lost and alone; she is chased by a pack of goblins but; to her surprise; escapes with the help of a flying broom and a talking cat named Montague; who takes her to the cosy village of Hedgely.

Here she discovers that she comes from a family of witches; women who protect Britain from the denizens of Faerie; who are all too real and far more frightening than her story books suggest.
