Witchfield

Written by Nicole Rimensberger and illustrated by Cristy Zinn.

Witchfield is a magical adventure story about two friends, Katie and Themba, who take on a strange mystery in a small South African town.

Katie Peridot quite likes being ordinary. Which makes it very hard when stange things start to happen to her – magical things which no-one except a cleaning lady at school can seem to understand.

She can’t talk to her mother who is already rather strange herself and her best friend Mayuri is no longer her best friend.

When a sinister sponsorship programme starts taking over her school, she teams up with Themba, the cleverest (and most unpopular) boy at school, and together their investigation takes them deep into the town’s abandoned mine.

What they find there is more terrible than they could have imagined.

Can they save Witchfield before it’s too late?
