How to solve a pixie infestation
“Thanks for coming, both of you, but Teddy and I have a pixie infestation to solve…” “That’s why we’re here,” Suniya said. “You wouldn’t be camped out in Kim and Tanya’s storage cupboard if you could fix it alone, would you? Let’s make a plan – after we’ve had ice cream.” Continue reading

The Infestation
Well, this is embarrassing. Teddy and I went to the Cinema… You know, the one run by the fair folk. We watched a peculiar German film about a woman running a lot. When we came back, I opened the case on my bed and heard a giggling sound. I didn’t see anything much more than… Continue reading

Summer rain
My friend and fellow teenage witch Olive Framley has been a bit distant lately. We don’t always spend time together, but sometimes it feels important to me, at least, to make sure we’ve had the chance to speak and talk about magic things. There are some things that only a fellow witch understands – even… Continue reading

Music to My Ears
Guess what, Suniya and I actually went and got ice cream. I can’t believe it took us so long and we had to find out Kim and Tanya’s life stories first. We got so much ice cream that we felt a bit sick afterwards. It was worth it! We wanted to try so many different… Continue reading

Friends, Tea, and No Monsters
In one of the shops, we ran into Bea Furness, who was out shopping too, not for anything in particular. If her currently bright purple hair wasn’t enough, Bea temporarily making her arms longer so she could reach something from a higher shelf meant that Suniya recognised her as the “the Shimmer lady” right away.

Into the Open
I took a deep breath. I didn’t like being such a scaredy-cat, Vera. I addressed the room. “Whoever you are, we’re not here to hurt you. It’s just that you’re scaring the people who live here. Please come out and maybe we can help you.” And I felt a cold hand on mine. Continue reading

A Job Done Too Well
Oh goodness, do you remember my magical barrier net that I put in place at the Fae Cinema? I assumed that was the end of the matter as I’d seen nothing out of the ordinary there since. In fact, I was really pleased with that as a bit of magical work – it felt much… Continue reading

Friends, Ice cream and Monsters
I wasn’t prepared for how strange it would be to go back home, after three months of living apart, as a proper witch! Mum and Dad seemed so pleased to have me back… At first. And I thought they’d be interested to hear my adventures, hear about Suki, Maksym, Bea and Olive, but whenever I… Continue reading

The Exchange
This week I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and I saw my new friend Jacob, professor of natural history and secret witch, walking down the road. He was wearing a dark jacket even though it was warm, his hood up! Continue reading
