  • Mari the Unwonderful Witch

    £14.99

    Mari is an eleven-year-old witch who loves her life. Indeed, what’s not to love about spending time with her amazing mothers, hanging out with her clever friends, eating delicious food and experimenting with fashion?

Magic should be used to help humans – not (for example) creating giant donuts for you and your classmates to scoff. But Mari doesn’t care what other people think of her – and when disaster strikes her town, she’ll need to convince the other witches to have the courage to break free, too, and be just as wildly unwonderful as she is.
