A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Nicol's debut offers a fresh take on the genre... Infused with mystery, adventure and bundles of charm. (Fiona Noble, The Bookseller)

A charming tale of magic, bravery and friendship, reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones. (The Guardian)

Raced through [James Nicol s] gorgeously magical Apprentice Witch reminded me of the best of the Worst Witch books & that moon hare is divine. (Abi Elphinstone, author of The Dreamsnatcher)

A delightful, witty and vivid story in the vein of Diane Wynne Jones or Kelly Barnhill. I absolutely loved Nicol s deft characterisation and evocative settings and it made me laugh out loud in parts! (Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The Girl of Ink & Stars) ---

Présentation de l'éditeur

Arianwyn fluffs her witch's assessment. Awarded the dull bronze disc of an apprentice - to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma - she's sent to protect the remote, dreary town of Lull. But her new life is far from boring. Turns out Gimma is the pompous mayor's favourite niece - and worse, she opens a magical rift in the nearby forest. As Arianwyn struggles with her spells, it's soon clear there's much more than her pride at stake ...
