Resumen del Editor

“This is one of my coziest reads of the last year, and I find myself thinking about its enchanted setting all the time.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family—and a new love—changes the course of her life.

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.

But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and…Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.

As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for.....

Warm, witty and wry

An outright pleasure to listen to, really well narrated. A future comfort listen and definitely worth the credit.

Everything I needed

I love Sangu Mandannas work and this was a whole other level of amazingness. Highly recommend!!

Top 10 for sure!

I picked this up because I saw it on bookstagram. I absolutely adored every minute of it. Found family seems to be a winner for me. There was such a delightful cast of characters- Mika, the young witches, Jamie (swoon!), Ian. Please do yourself a favor and listen to this one. The narration was perfect and I definitely think I will listen to it again!

Great book

Loved it, a little slow in the beginning but give it a chance. Very heart warming and funny once you are introduced to all the characters.

such a super cute and romantic story.

love the story, great narrator with a calm and relaxing voice. would definitely recommend

A lovely surprise

What a treat to find this book. It has magic and pain and romance and humour. I enjoyed it very much

Easy, light, and fun!

If you need a light-hearted story of found families and combatting loneliness, this is a great pick.

a book for all ages

These days it's hard to find a writer who can reach me my daughter and my granddaughter with the same book. we each came away with a new look at an old problem. Thank you.

Imaginative, charming, uplifting

A lovely escape. The writing is good, I found it on a best romance list. Not really a romance, though there is a romance story line. It is more about family and belonging. The magic is fun. Not dark or weird. I recommend.

Very fun story with a twist ending

I really enjoyed both the story and the narration. There was a twist at the end and tons of likeable characters.
