Well, mind you are—remember what happened last year.” Granny’s voice softened. “There’s birthday cake for later.” Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments This book was amazing! It's a chilling and thrilling story that will keep you on the edge of your seat, but it also has a lot of humour. It takes a while for the reader to get an idea of what the book will be about, and when it is set, but after that it is a very good book. It's great for lovers of The Aveline Jones books.... Read Full ReviewThe boat lurched again as a familiar figure loomed over the two girls. Betty gave a squeak of surprise as someone pushed their face to hers, almost nose to nose. She won’t,” said Betty. “Why do you think I chose tonight? Everyone’s going to be dressed up or wearing masks. It’s perfect! If no one knows it’s us, no one can rat on us to Granny.” Betty didn’t respond, fighting to appear calm for her sister’s sake. Perhaps Granny hadn’t been too cautious. Perhaps she was right to be afraid ... Siblings can be annoying, a responsibility, and the best person to team up with – or all of those things at once! These thrilling books are all about brothers and sisters. She called to Charlie, who had interrupted a domino game to proudly show off the gap where her front teeth had fallen out. Together, Betty and Charlie headed for the doors, weaving past tables of familiar faces that Betty knew as well as her own. They were almost at the door when Charlie’s foot tangled in Betty’s cloak and she tripped, bumping into a table where a sour-faced fellow named Fingerty sat alone. He made an unfriendly noise between a grunt and a growl, scowling as his drink slopped against the side of the glass.

A spellbinding middle grade fantasy about three sisters who go on a quest to break the curse that’shaunted their family for generations.​ I really loved this book because it was exciting and a teeny bit scary. I loved Charlie because he is brave, cheeky and likes animals. Ive read all 3 books now and they're awesome!Really, for how short it was... it made me really happy, u know? Cute, sweet,warm and cozy... that's what i would say to describe this game. Adventure awaits the audacious!” Betty whispered in excitement. (It was the first time she had spoken her new motto aloud, and she had been dying to say it all day.) What if Granny finds out?” Charlie whispered, half gleeful and half afraid. “We’ll be in for it then!”

I’ve got it all figured out.” She was so confident that she had even thought up a new motto, but she was saving that. Embarrassed,” Betty corrected her sister. If they’d lived anywhere else, she would have squirmed about it, but almost everyone who lived near the prison did so because they were related to someone on the inside. “No, there isn’t. But don’t blab about personal stuff when we’re meant to be undercover. You never know who’s listening. Now get a move on. I can see the ferry waiting.” All Betty Widdershins wantsis an adventure—one that takes her far away from Crowstone, the gloomy island where she’s always lived. But instead of an adventure, Betty and her sisters, Fliss and Charlie, are given of a set of magical objects, each with its own powers:ascruffy carpet bag, a set of wooden nesting dolls, and a gilt-framed mirror.And these magical objects come with their own terrible secret: the sisters’ family is haunted by a generations-long curse that prevents them from ever leaving their island—at the cost of death. If you hadn't been an author what would have been your dream job? Either a career as an illustrator, or perhaps something working with animals. Who were your favourite writers as a child? Controversial choice nowadays, but the author who made me a reader was Enid Blyton. I adored the Famous Five books, as well as the Malory Towers and St. Clare’s series and read them all over and over again. I loved the idea of children going off on their own and having adventures. I also enjoyed the Gobbolino stories by Ursula Moray Williams, and the humour and darkness of Roald Dahl. Later on it was the Point Horror books and then Christopher Pike who kept me reading throughout my teenage years. I loved being scared, and these were the stories that inspired me to start writing my own.

Michelle Harrison's magical fantasy series has been enthralling middle grade readers since the first adventure, A Pinch of Magic was published in 2019. In a modern fairy tale of witches, sorcery and exciting escapades, the Widdershins sisters use their cunning and magic in a good v evil adventure. Stories guaranteed to keep them reading after lights out. A Pinch of Magic is new release, which I received from the publisher via Net-Galley. The blurb looked interesting, although I disliked all the gushing quotes from other authors included on Goodreads – which I have left out here. For good reason, as it turns out. As the week draws on in a bleak Welsh caravan park, 13-year-old Lark feels increasingly anxious and soon senses a presence hiding in the sea fog.This chilling ghost story will have readers gripped from the outset. Desperate for an adventure, Betty plans a secret outing to neighbouring Marshfoot on her 13th birthday, but is furious when Granny stops her. Granny then breaks the devasting news that all Widdershins’ girls are trapped by an ancient curse and if they ever leave Crowstone, they will die by the following sunrise. Take three sisters, add the cruelest of curses and a pinch of magic, and you'll have a tantalising tale you cannot put down' Tamsyn Murray, author of Completely Cassidy
