Magical Potions and Spells – Vol.3 The Evil Cat

Content : Hawthorn discovered a mysterious ginger cat while working in the archives. She’s forbidden to go near it, as her sister Primrose reminds her, but Hawthorn can’t resist the temptation to stroke it. The moment she touches its fur, a sharp burn shoots through her hand, and she lets the animal escape. The next day, Hawthorn doesn’t feel well, and she soon realises that she has lost all her powers. Could it have something to do with the ginger cat? And what kind of dark magic is at work?

The third volume of a new illustrated paperback series in full colour, very well received earlier this year.

Cats, witches, and their magical lessons: themes that strongly resonate with young readers, especially girls. With numerous colour illustrations by Marine Gosselin.
