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!
