A Tangle of Spells by Michelle Harrison review by Ms Kerr

This is the third book in the series which see the Widdershins sisters move from their home in Crowstone to Blackbird Cottage in Pendlewick.  Little do they suspect that they are about to be caught up in a dangerous spell which is cast over the village and a race against time to save themselves and the villagers.

I loved reading this book, probably more than the other two and would recommend it for Year 5 to 7…or older.
