Twelve-year-old Hazel Hooper has spent her whole life trapped in a magical Glade created by her mother, Hecate. She’s desperate to meet new people and find out about the world. And, more than anything, she wants to be a witch. But when her mother is kidnapped by a demon - everything changes... Suddenly Hazel is alone in the world. Well… not quite alone. She may have accidentally created a grumpy familiar in the form of a dormouse called Bramley. But turns out that Hazel does have magic. She is a Fire Witch – and with her new found power she becomes determined to find her mother, at all costs.
