Lucy Skylark Entry 10.5, 27th April
Dear Lucy, My dear, you did the right thing in reaching out to me! Of course we must help this new friend of yours! I fear you have exposed a little hypocrisy of mine, because while I firmly believe that our powers are not something we should shy away from or be frightened of, I… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 6, 26th April.
You will not have even read my previous letter as I write this, but I lay awake tossing and turning last night and worrying about this woman, this Mrs Webfoot. She seems to know about me and even know when I’m lying… so I realised I could go one better. Why do years of work… Continue reading

Olive Framley Entry 5, 25th April.
The strange weather continues. Yesterday it was raining on one side of Crag Cottage but not on the other. The town was covered in rain, and over the sea it was bright and sunny. I wondered if it was some sort of trick… something meant to draw me out. I put on my coat, and… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 8, 18th April.
Mrs Edgwood came by again yesterday. She wondered if I could give her niece a hand with her biology homework, because I was so clever with plants.

Olive Framley Entry 2, 16th April.
It was sunny as I went for a walk down to the sea caves, but on my way up the uneven stairs, it started pouring. There wasn’t much to be done until I spotted the old lighthouse at the edge of the promontory, since it was too far to run home, so I decided to… Continue reading

Lucy Skylark Entry 7, 14th April.
Teddy appeared at the dining room doorway. “Lucy, come quick! Something very weird is happening!” I rushed upstairs and discovered he was right… there was a storm howling outside my window. One half of the house was in sunshine… the other being battered by a full-on storm. Continue reading
