Stuck for the summer in the tiny Scottish village of Dribble, eleven-year-old Kitty Tweddle thinks this will be the worst summer ever. But her grandparents’ house holds many secrets, and when Kitty steps on an enchanted penny, a world filled with magic is revealed. With a rogue wishing well spewing out bad wishes, a mysterious house full of secret passageways, and magical creatures everywhere she turns, Kitty’s summer suddenly gets a lot more interesting.
But when a bogeyman escapes Fairyland, determined to use the well for his own dark wishes, Kitty’s whole world is put in danger. And only Kitty, aided by three talking cats and a book of magic, can stop him. If she fails, her home and everyone she loves will be lost. Forever.
Fans of Harry Potter and Narnia will love this book. Kitty Tweddle and the Wishing Well is a delightful blend of folklore and fantasy with a healthy dollop of humor - a magical adventure that's entertaining for children, middle school students, and adults.
