Summary

Step into the magical world of Hedgewitch, where the land of Faerie lies just beyond our own, in this enchanting new series for children age 9+ and listeners of Nevermoor and The Worst Witch.

Cassie Morgan has run away. After seven years spent waiting for her mother to return, she flees her dreary boarding school and sets out to find her. But the world outside her school is full of hidden magic and children have been going missing.

With the help of a talking cat and a flying broom, Cassie escapes to the enchanted village of Hedgely. There she will begin her training in the practical skills of witchcraft with the Hedgewitch, who watches over the Hedge, the vast forest that marks the border between England and Faerie.

Will Cassie discover the truth about her mother? Can she find the lost faery treasures before the wicked Erl King gets his hands on them? And what will it take to save her new home - and Britain itself - from the shadowing magic of Faerie?

Critic reviews

"Magical in every sense of the word." (Eoin Colfer)

"There are only two sorts of fantasy story: the ones that feel fake and the ones that feel real. It's hard to explain the difference but you know the real ones when you read them and Hedgewitch is one of them." (Philip Reeve)

A witchling adventure.

A lovely read for young people. beautifully written and nicely told. Full of imagination any child will find themselves looking in on the adventure and perhaps even identifying with the characters.

A stunning middle grade debut

A must for fans of Nevermoor, Amari and the Night Brothers and the Worst witch. Perfect for young middle grade readers+ to be read to. I'm 38 and absolutely loved the story. I'm now eagerly awaiting the next one in the series to come out.

Best Audiobook Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗

Although it ends on a cliff hanger, it is an amazing book to listen to at night or when you are just dealing bored. Personally, to many cliffhangers is just the right amount, and this book has (in my opinion) lots of cliffhangers. Buy this book with credits or money, I don't mind but buy it. You will regret it if you don't listen to it. I've said once and I'll say it again:
Best Audiobook Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤗
