Publisher's summary

An enchanting new novella set in the magical world of Sunday Times bestseller Threadneedle.

Rowan is visiting her aunt—Winne the hedge witch—in the Welsh countryside, to get back to nature and hone her skills, as well as taking a break from her annoying sisters and enjoying some peace and quiet. However, Rowan soon comes to realise that hedges are a serious business and this isn’t quite the opportunity to rest and escape she thought it might be.

Not only that, but mysterious events around the town are causing panic in the secret magical community and cowans—non-magical folk—are starting to take notice.

Can Rowan hone her hedge craft, try to make some friends and solve the riddle of the mysterious goings-on, or is magic about to be revealed to the world…or at least Wales?

Wholesome and witchy

I enjoyed this quick read. Exactly what I wanted. Not gruesome or dark but it felt magical and witchy and cute.

A nice book for a 12-14 year old girl

This was definitely a novel for preteens. The story was just OK. The narrator is really over dramatic in her storytelling. She always sounded like the story was an intriguing mystery or the characters were excited when speaking just regular lines. I think I would've enjoyed it as a young girl, but it's just too young for me.
