The Magical Year is a story told in letters based on prompts from Sky Latshaw’s Magical Year of a Teenage Witch.
Our two witches are Lucy Skylark and Olive Framley.
You can read in two different ways: in chronological order, or by following a story.
Chronological Order
You can start at the very beginning with Lucy’s first letter. You can then either focus only on Lucy’s letters, or both Lucy and Olive’s letters.
You can read only Olive’s letters, starting with Olive’s first letter.
