A Spell in the Country- Heide Goody + Iain Grant- 4*
I loved this, such an entertaining read. Think witches at school and then a wonderful
finale. There are different sorts of witches as we all know. Dee is a good witch but
wants to be better. She works in a charity shop for an animal rescue centre as she
has a soft spot for even the “ugly” animals that no-one wants. Caroline in her own
words isn’t “just a witch” she is “ a frickin’ awesome witch”. Jenny however is a
bad witch who has her own invisible imp- Jizzimus who gets up to all sorts of
mischief- of course he does, he’s an imp! They have all met a Chugger who has
“sold” them three weeks on a free self development course. Too good to be true?
They have crossed paths briefly and now on the course realise they all have one
thing in common- witchcraft. This is one of those books that you can’t help but
smile at from the start. Antics as you would expect when a little magic is at hand,
but there is also another plot afoot. Very clever how a real name was woven into
this. Some “real” people entered to have their names in the book- how lucky
are they! To be a witch- wow! Dear Heide…. please please please?
What an honour. A book to enjoy, a book to make you smile. Witchcraft?
Think again with a Spell in the Country.
