'Beautiful and engaging and clever and what more could you ask for in a book?'Manda Scott, bestselling author of A Treachery of Spies

'A story that is full of magic and delight that will thrill readers of any age'Rowan Coleman, author of The Girl at the Window

‘A rural Ben Aaronovitch!’ C. K. McDonnell, author of The Stranger Times

As Spitfires roar overhead and a dark figure stalks the village of Woodville, a young woman will discover her destiny . . .

Faye Bright always felt a little bit different. And today she’s found out why. She’s just stumbled across her late mother’s diary which includes not only a spiffing recipe for jam roly-poly, but spells, incantations, runes and recitations . . . a witch's notebook.

And Faye has inherited her mother’s abilities.

Just in time, too. The Crow Folk are coming. Led by the charismatic Pumpkinhead, their strange magic threatens Faye and the villagers. Armed with little more than her mum's words, her trusty bicycle, the grudging help of two bickering old ladies, and some aggressive church bellringing, Faye will find herself on the front lines of a war nobody expected.

For fans of Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett comes this delightful novel of war, mystery and a little bit of magic . . .

What a lovely book! Think WW11 era with some scarecrows and witches thrown in for good measure. It was at times creepy, at times funny, tugged a bit at the heartstrings and it was full of gorgeously nostalgic historical detail. It reminded me of something I might have read as a youngster.
This is a wholesome book, one that doesn’t depend on gore, sex, violence, etc. for its appeal. That makes it a rare gem and suitable for anyone aged about 12 and upwards. The audiobook is beautifully narrated.
Really looking forward to the sequel, “Babes in the Wood”.

Just Gorgeous!

Really enjoyed this book and looking forward to the next one. Quirky characters, a well-paced story, some very heartfelt moments, great narration. Just a bit less magical & whimsical than I hoped somehow. Curious about where the story will go next though!

Throughly enchanting

I've heard people say that "The Crow Folk" would be appreciated by fans of Sir Terry Pratchett (May he rest in peace). So I decided to pick this up (That and i can't resist a nice book cover)

And sure, i love the Discworld series above most things.
But just slapping the "it reminded me of Discworld" sticker on it does neither the book or it's author any justice.
Mark Stay has created something new, refreshing, funny and simultaneously serious.

And i love it.

The narrator also does a bang up job on this book.

Absolutely fantastic.

I couldn't stop listening and at the end immediately bought the 2nd book in the series.
