Searching for her mother she enters a world of magic as she discovers her true identity in the place she has always belonged – Hedgely. Magic is commonplace here and she soon fits in and makes friends as she learns her witchcraft under the all-seeing eye of her aunt, the Hedgewitch.

Cassie’s character and those of her friends shine like magic orbs off the page as you follow her on her journey of discovery. A truly captivating story of friendship and loyalty with a little dash of magic to help along the way.
