The Magic Potions Shop: The Young Apprentice: 1

In the Kingdom of Arthwen, there was a very unusual shop. It wasn't on the high street; it was deep in the forest. It wasn't in a building; it was inside a tree. It didn't sell food, or clothes, or toys: this shop sold potions. Tibben wants to be the Potions Master one day, just like Grandpa, but for now he is an Apprentice and there is lots to learn! From the creators of the bestselling Fairytale Hairdresser series, Abie Longstaff & Lauren Beard, this story is perfect for building reading confidence whether reading aloud or alone.

Abie Longstaff is the eldest of six children and grew up in Australia, Hong Kong and France. She knows all about squabbling, chaos and bossing younger sisters around. So she logically began her career as a barrister. She started writing when her children were born. Her favourite childhood books were Hating Alison Ashley, A Little Princess, Maura's Angel and The Black Stallion and she sneakily reads them again sometimes. Abie lives in North London with her family and a very pesky cocker spaniel who chews the post.
