London 1596 and2010. Two lives, four centuries apart, but a dark secret ties them together.
It's summer, and the vibrant world of the theatre barge is coming to life. It's Lally's world and the only one she's ever known. But when her father pulls an ancient piece of wood from the canal and fashions it into a puppet, strange things begin to happen. Soon Lally starts to wonder whether there is something sinister about the wooden doll - could she be connected to the mysterious hagwitch?
A gripping tale of myth and magic and the secret world of the theatre.

I really enjoyed Hagwitch. First of the cover is beautiful, I absolutely love the cover! The colours are beautiful and I would pick it up if I saw it on a bookshelf. Secondly, the story captivated me. Hagwitch is a great read, I recommend it to anyone who loves a good read of myth and magic, and a story that also gives you chills -- Megan Readingawaythedays 20130321
