The Widdershins sisters have their own secret: a set of enchanted nesting dolls with the power to render their user invisible. The sisters must use their wits - and their magic - if they're to break the dark hold over the village and save one of their own...but have they met their match this time?

Then the most powerful witch in the world of Starfell turns up at Willow’s door and asks for her help. A whole day - last Tuesday to be precise - has gone missing. Completely. And, without it, the whole universe could unravel. Now Willow holds the fate of Starfell in her rather unremarkable hands. Can she save the day - by finding the lost one?

Great story
This is a really good story for nine years and higher. That’s a great plot twist at the end I never saw it coming. Those looking for a story about magic they should pick this. It has lots of magic in it and great plot twist at the end. Someone she thinks is her friend betrayed her.

Men in Black meets Harry Potter
This will prove very popular, I feel. With elements of a familiar young wizard's story and world, with monsters and villains and plots, and with a diverse cast that give a wide readership a new heroine to root for, this has a lot going for it.
Amari experiences a lot of prejudice and bullying for being the 'scholarship kid' at a school where mainly privileged children go. She's already suffering the loss of her beloved elder brother, missing for several months. And now she's looking at exclusion for standing up for herself.
She realises that her brother may have been hiding a lot from her though, after mysterious objects and people turn up, and she finds herself nominated, by him, to join a new academic establishment... a magical one.
With intolerance and bullying still at play, but now with magical powers, creatures and cultures coming at her from all sides, it's a 'magic school' story with the initiation of Men in Black. And Amari wants in, if it can help her find out what happened to Quintin, who she knows isn't dead, but deeply involved in this world.
An enjoyable story to listen to, Amari is voiced well and sounds her age, the Audible copy moves quickly though most readers may prefer to read this at their own pace.
The elements you expect in this kind of story are there - mentors, friends and enemies at school, challenges and trials, powers and lessons, teachers and of course villains to be thwarted with teamwork.
I enjoyed the way the author built a world around Amari that can be followed up in future stories, the elements are in place for a whole series to continue this first episode. She's a bright, brave and inspiring young protagonist that gives readers a new sort of hero to root for.
Lots of fun, plenty of Potter-like familiarity with lots of different features that make this fresh and current.
For ages 9-14.
With thanks to Nudge Books for providing a sample Audible copy.

Great
Amari’s big brother has been missing for months and whilst Amari has been going to school and her mum to work, Amari has not given up hope on finding her brother. On the last day school, Amari gets a message delivered, with an invitation to the Bureau of Supernatural Investigations. This is Amari’s best chance of finding her brother. But when it turns out she has illegal talent, Amari must do all she can to not only look for her brother but survive this summer school.
I enjoyed how, although Amari has a rough time both in her normal school and also at the Bureau she still keeps going and pushes herself to be better then what everyone thinks about her. I also loved her devotion to finding her brother, for not only her family but for the community that she lives in.
Unfortunately I did predict who the magician’s apprentice would be from about the half way mark, but this did not detract from the over all story and my enjoyment. I will definitely be picking up the next in the series, and see what Amari gets up to next.
