About this title

Synopsis

A bewitchingly funny coming-of-age story about secrets, bullies and pumpkin soup.

Something weird is going on...very weird. Long black hairs keep sprouting from Lily's chin and her dad is looking more and more like a Yeti. Just what's behind this fuzz fest? And is Lily really turning into a witch like her neighbour, Mrs Swan? 

Now the prettiest and meanest girl in class is threatening to tell the whole school, including the cute new boy. Can Lily put her desperate plan into action before the school bully strikes? And will the magical solution Mrs Swan offers work? After all, what's the worst that could happen?

Interspersed with magic, wonderfully authentic characters and a not-so-perfect heroine kids will really relate to, Snap Magic weaves its humour around an anything-but-predictable plot sequence of disastrously embarrassing situations. The themes of trust, friendship, bullying, consequences, family relationships, coming-of-age and peer acceptance are handled with sensitivity and an understanding of the language and interests of the age group. For readers 8-12 years.

From the author of Pond Magic - Lily Padd returns for more magic and mayhem...
