About this listen

A special middle grade debut of magic and courage in a world of witches, written with the charm and enchantment of books like Circus Mirandus and The Apothecary.

Will Arianwyn ever become a real witch?

Arianwyn has flunked her witch's assessment. She knows she's doomed. Declared an apprentice and sent to the town of Lull in disgrace, Arianwyn may never become a real witch like everyone else - much to the glee of her archrival, Gimma.

But the remote Lull is not as boring as it seems. Strange things are being sighted in the woods, and a dangerous infestation of hex creeps throughout the town. Then the worst thing Arianwyn can imagine arrives in Lull: Gimma turns up on vacation determined to make her life miserable.

Despite being a little over her head, Arianwyn starts to get the hang of being a witch, even if she's only an apprentice. But there's one thing she's wrong about: The worst is still to come. For a mysterious darkness has begun to haunt her spells, and there may be much more at stake than just her pride....

Arianwyn’s world is rich and full! James Nichol does an amazing job with a really well developed cast of characters! The language is beautiful and brings the world to life! Written for 8-12... I am 40-something and loved it! Elizabeth’s reading is enchanting. Best book ever!! Can not wait for A Witch Alone on Audible. A+

I found the initial setup slow and it seemed to be heading towards at romantic-teen angst novel. I almost stopped listening. I happy I didn't it turned into a wonderful light story. I tend to take chances on audio books and am happy I did with this one.

Started Slow but Ultimately Very Enjoyable
