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 these in any order you like, but here are some suggestions if you want to follow more methodically.
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.
