Charlie and her family have moved from the big city to a small country village, and everything feels wrong. The cottage they now live in is old and creepy. Anxiety about her new school is causing Charlie's stutter to return. And the villagers are just plain weird: Beautiful young singer Suzy Evans, who glows with a strange light that only Charlie can see. Mysterious classmate Cat, who won't keep her nose out of Charlie's business. And Agatha, who may not have a broomstick or a cauldron, but is definitely a witch...Slowly and steadily, though, the strange surroundings exert their effect on Charlie...Would a bit of Agatha's magic fix her worsening stutter? Nothing else seems to...But bad-tempered Agatha has long since retired from magic. Besides, she tells Charlie, her stutter is part of who she is, not a curse that can be removed. Not like the curse that's been put on Suzy Evans, the sparkling singer, who is set to lose her wonderful voice when she turns sixteen in just a week's time...
Biography
Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling and bossing younger sisters around so she began her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children were born.
Abie has a life-long love of fairy tales and mythology and her work is greatly influenced by these themes. Her picture books include The Fairytale Hairdresser series, which follows the adventures of Kittie Lacey, stylist to all of fairyland from the Big Bad Wolf to the Little Mermaid. When anyone has a problem, it’s Kittie they turn to. See how many fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters you can spot!
For older children, she writes The Magic Potions Shop series (about a pixie training to be a potions master, and making a lot of mistakes along the way); the Tally and Squill books (mystery stories with coded passages, magic rooms and a clever squirrel); as well as How to Catch a Witch .
Abie lives with her family by the sea in in Hove.
