"This page-turning story of science, magic and history is a tonic"
Interest Age 9+ Reading Age 8
Magic, science and history mix in Lindsay Galvin’s new story for Barrington Stoke.
Ann works in her family’s apothecary shop and has special skills learned from her grandmother that make her healing tinctures particularly effective. With input from a young Isaac Newton, the family’s new lodger, she creates an elixir with truly extraordinary powers. When plague arrives at her village, Ann moves quickly to save her community, only to put herself in the sights of a cruel witchfinder.
Lindsay Galvin packs lots of action into this short, ultra-readable novel, as Ann finds herself in danger after danger, while working to do as much good as possible. The final twist in the tale is particularly satisfying and this atmospheric, immersive story will keep readers gripped from beginning to end while the presence of Isaac Newton is an added treat.
