The Witch in the Tower: The sensational follow-up title to The Queen in the Cave from the award-winning Julia Sarda – a perfect Halloween read for would-be witches aged 5-9! - The Three Sisters

The sequel to The Queen in the Cave, and the second title in The Three Sisters trilogy, this new picture book from the uniquely thrilling mind of Júlia Sardà follows middle sister Carmela on a wild, wondrous adventure that leads to an incredible transformation. Carmela's older sister, Franca, has stopped playing with her and she cannot help but feel sad and left out. No one can make her feel better, not even her little sister.

So she decides to play a game: she will walk until she can’t anymore and then ... she will walk a little more. Carmela suddenly arrives at a strange tower where she meets a witch who, it seems, has been waiting for Carmela all this time.

She welcomes Carmela into a world far beyond the limits of her imagination, where Carmela visits libraries teeming with ancient books; rooms where worms and spiders weave intricate dresses; a wonderful dome of crystal prisms and, finally, Carmela takes flight - her worries shrinking, her mind expanding. Carmela discovers a magic and power within herself – to see beyond the hurt and pain of growing up, to find her own place in the world.
