About this audiobook
Welcome to Little Snoddington, where nothing is normal and every day is magic . . .
Nine-year-old Alfie Blackstack's parents have met a very unfortunate end. Now he's living in the dark and cobwebby Switherbroom Hall with his mad-haired Aunt Gertie and warty Aunt Zita, who would really like to pickle him. Before long, Alfie realises his aunts aren't just the weird local chemists, they're witches!
"This charming crazy story had me giggling all the way through - a magical story about the power of true friendship - I loved it!" (JASBINDER BILAN, author of ASHA amp; THE SPIRIT BIRD)
"Featuring daring circus tricks, mischievous little sisters, the mysterious Switherbroom Hall, and so much enchantment that the pages practically crackle with it, Everyday Magic is action-packed and bursting with fun" (SINÉAD O'HART, author of THE STAR-SPUN WEB)
"Everything you'd expect from Jess Kidd, with an especially naughty twinkle in its eye! I loved it" (EMMA CARROLL, author of THE SOMERSET TSUNAMI)
