The Time of the Witch is a spooky middle-grade novel about Laura, a girl who desperately wants her parents to get back together. When she meets the strange old Maude Blackthorne, Laura is offered magical help — but the spell comes with frightening and unpredictable consequences.

This is a classic witchcraft story for younger readers, mixing family tension, old magic, eerie woods, crows and the dangerous idea that wishes can go wrong.
