An exhilarating period piece of magic.

4.5 stars.

With a fast-moving story, this novel about three young sisters living under a curse had me keen to continue listening. Trying to escape their drab medieval town existence, Betty and her sisters discover that their grandmother has been hiding the truth about a family curse from them.

This curse is set to ruin all their lives if they don't do something about it, and Betty is not the sort who will give in without a fight.

The story takes the three on an exciting ride that tests their sisterly bond and their mettle, as they use three magical artefacts to help them break the curse. Will a potential ally really be their friend? Can they use their wits to overcome their family heritage before it is too late?

Each sister is given her own personality, qualities and failings, and their Middle Age world is rendered dirty and real enough.

The book took us to places I wasn't expecting, but it all came together nicely. I would hope male readers also take to the Widdershins sisters and their story.

The audio version is read with an authentically teenage-sounding voice for Betty, and was not a problem to follow as an audiobook.

For ages 10-14.

With thanks to Nudge Books for providing a sample Audible copy.

The appalling moment of listening to this with my daughter and hearing ‘do you remember what I told you , the tooth fairy isn’t real, it’s granny, and that was the end of your innocence’ basically. How dare you Michelle Harrison!!

I know that this book is aimed at a much younger audience than I, but what a wonderful read this was. A very original tale that was a thrilling, yet heart-warming magical tale. Would recommend for children from 9-99! I listened to the audio version. The narration is excellent.

Absolutely magical!
