“An enchanting new book full of magical mischief and adventure, Alane Adams’s The Blue Witch is guaranteed to please”
—Foreword Clarion Reviews
Before Sam Baron broke Odin's curse on the witches to become the first son born to a witch and the hero of the Legends of Orkney series, his mother was a young witchling growing up in the Tarkana Witch Academy. In this first book of the prequel series, the Witches of Orkney, nine-year-old Abigail Tarkana is determined to grow up to be the greatest witch of all, even greater than her evil ancestor Catriona. Unfortunately, she is about to fail Spectacular Spells class because her witch magic hasn't come in yet. Even worse, her nemesis, Endera, is making life miserable by trying to get her kicked out.
When her new friend Hugo's life is put in danger by a stampeding sneevil, a desperate Abigail manages to call up her magic―only to find out it's unlike any other witchling's at the Tarkana Witch Academy! As mysteries deepen around her magic and just who her true parents are, Abigail becomes trapped in a race against time to undo one of her spells before she is kicked out of the coven forever!
Rich in Norse mythology, The Blue Witch is the first of a fast-paced young reader series filled with magical spells, mysterious beasts, and witch-hungry spiders!
This is my first book by this author so i think i need to go back and check out some of the others books by this author. I did not feel like i was missing out on anything you can jump into this book and you be just fine. This is a middle grade story that follows a 9 year old girl as she goes off to magic school to learn to use her magic. She knows next to nothing about her mother other then she named Lissandra and she was fleeing the coven with her when she died. As the story moves along we also learn that due to who Abigail farther is she also has special magic. Join Abiligal as she navigates bullies, witch classes and a few dangerous beasts you will not be disappointed.
