The Mudpuddle Manual of Natural Magic: A cozy witchy fantasy set in a magical bookshop

"If you love cozy fantasy, you do NOT want to miss this series! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!" Reader review, 5 stars Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea and let the Mudpuddle Bookshop work its magic. An unputdownable cozy fantasy for anyone who believes it's never too late for second chances, true love's kiss, or a really good cookie... Maida Westabrook has never set foot in Primrose Court—the hidden magical neighbourhood her mother left behind. But when she inherits the Mudpuddle Bookshop and Cafe, a creaky, enchanted Queen Anne house where the tea is always brewing and the lemon drizzle cookies vanish faster than you can bake them, she's pulled into a world she was never meant for. There's just one problem: Maida is Ordinary. No magic, no powers, no pointy boots. Its longtime caretaker—her formidable great-grandaunt Minerva—has spent decades protecting the shop and its priceless magical archives. She's not about to hand it all over to a girl who can't even cast a cleaning spell. But when a mysterious locket appears and the Mudpuddle vanishes without a trace, Maida discovers she may not be quite as Ordinary as everyone assumed.
