Ancient witch treasure, a missing mother, a magic stone, and a boy who truly believes in magic, Tim Tilley’s Witchstorm will charm the pointy hats off 8+ year-olds who enjoy atmospheric adventure stories.
Despite being mocked by his peers, Will firmly believes in the witches his Ma tells tales about, not least legendary local witch, Agatha Crow. Will and Ma have long been looking for Agatha’s lost treasure and, though Agatha was supposedly the last witch, it’s said “other witches survived. Living in secret”.
When Ma vanishes, Will won’t give up searching for her, or for Agatha’s treasure, and the appearance of Magda, one of those surviving witches, heightens his chances of success, while also heightening the perils he must face.
With riddles to solve, symbols to decipher, and plenty of breakneck broomstick chases, Witchstorm tingles with the thrills of a classic quest, with the richly-described Fens setting adding atmosphere and timelessness.

About
Witchstorm Synopsis
Join a hunt for lost witch treasure, in an enchanting adventure story of storms, spells and the magic of the natural world, from bestselling and award-winning Tim Tilley.
Will believes in witches and the stories he's grown up with - of mythical storm-lions, disappearing villages and secret songs. Most of all, he believes the tales of magical treasure hidden in the Fens centuries ago. Treasure that he has to find, to solve the mystery of his Ma's disappearance. Then, in the eye of a storm, a witch arrives. She holds the key to finding the lost treasure - a powerful magical stone that can summon storms. But someone else is searching for it too. If it falls into the wrong hands, Will's beloved home could be destroyed, and with it, his chances of ever finding his ma.
Join Will on an epic quest filled with riddles, ruined towers and broomstick chases.
