Klappentext

Join a hunt for lost witch treasure, in another tale of magic, friendship and nature from bestselling and award-winning Tim Tilley.

Will believes in witches. He knows the folk tales of their treasure, hidden deep in the nature of the human world, and he knows that he needs to find it to solve the mystery of his Ma's disappearance.

But then a girl on a broomstick crashes into his life, and she just might have the information he needs to finally find the treasure. But now someone else is after it too, to use its power for evil.

As storms and spells fill the air, Will and his friends must solve riddles and crack clues to track down the treasure, and save everything they love.
