TRY ANOTHER GREAT BOOK FROM CHICKEN HOUSE
THE APPRENTICE WITCH by JAMES NICOL
Arianwyn fails her witch’s assessment – instead of qualifying, she’s declared an apprentice and sent to remote Lull in disgrace. Then her arch-enemy, mean girl Gimma, arrives on holiday determined to make her life a misery. But as a mysterious darkness begins to haunt her spells, Arianwyn realizes there’s much more than her pride at stake…
‘A charming tale of magic, bravery and friendship, reminiscent of Diana Wynne Jones.’
THE GUARDIAN
‘The Apprentice Witch is entirely more charming, adventurous, and full of heart than a book has any right to be. Make no mistake: there’s magic afoot.’
