Magical machines, wizards, witches, mysterious underworlds, a race against time – and two most magical girls.
Annabel Grey has been brought up to be a very proper Victorian young lady. But being ‘proper’ isn’t always easy – especially when you can sometimes see marvellous (as well as terrifying) things in puddles. But parlour tricks such as these are nothing compared to the world that Annabel is about to enter…
After the rather sudden departure of her mother, Annabel is sent to live with her aunts. They claim to be Shoreditch witches, and from a very old family line of them too. They’re keen to introduce Annabel to their world of transformation, potions and flying broomsticks (which seem to have strong personalities of their own) but are horrified when Annabel announces not only does she not know any magic, young ladies shouldn’t believe in such things. But before Annabel has time to decide whether she does or not, she is swept into an urgent quest.
The trees of Highgate have been whispering to Kitty – an extraordinary urchin of a girl, who Annabel’s aunts seem very fond of – and so have the fairies. They talk of a terrible, dark magic that wants to devour all of London. And of a most magical girl who might be able to stop it . . .
This sparkling and enchanting story is sure to bewitch you, so curl up in front of the fire, and prepare to be swept away . . .
Reviews
I liked how the girl had visions of the future and found out she was a witch. I would recommend this book

I liked kitty because she is adventurous and feels much more at home outside than in. I also like Annabel because at the begging of the book she was a very proper young lady, but by the end of the book, she has become much more adventurous and much less of a proper young lady. this book is set in the victoria period and is full of magic. I would recommend it to people that like books full of adventure, magic, and compassion.

I really enjoyed this book, because the main character that saves the day was at the beginning just a young girl who was very posh and ladylike. However at the end of the story she ends up being herself and herself is a most magical girl.
