Story
A body always tells a story - but this child’s was a blank page. Rita reached for the lantern. She trained its light on the child’s face. "Who are you?" she murmured, but the face said as little as the rest of her. It was impossible to tell whether, in life, these blunt and unfinished features had borne the imprint of prettiness, timid watchfulness, or sly mischief. If there had once been curiosity or placidity or impatience here, life had not had time to etch it into permanence. Only a very short time ago, the body and soul of this little girl had still been securely attached.

So she decides to make a home for herself by running away and offering herself as an apprentice to the witch in the nearby woods. After all, who better to teach Grace to use her magic? Surely the witch can’t be that bad. But the witch is that bad—she steals souls for spells and gobbles up hearts. So Grace offers a deal: If she can learn all 100½ spells in the witch’s grimoire, the witch will make Grace her apprentice.

Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Eva Evergreen is determined to earn the rank of Novice Witch before her 13th birthday. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever. For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test: One: Help your town, do good all around. Two: Live there for one moon, don't leave too soon. Three: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of tricks. The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever she overuses her magic, she falls asleep.

Story
Eva Evergreen is determined to earn the rank of Novice Witch before her 13th birthday. If she doesn't, she'll lose her magic forever. For most young witches and wizards, it's a simple enough test: One: Help your town, do good all around. Two: Live there for one moon, don't leave too soon. Three: Fly home by broomstick, the easiest of tricks. The only problem? Eva only has a pinch of magic. She summons heads of cabbage instead of flowers and gets a sunburn instead of calling down rain. And to add insult to injury, whenever she overuses her magic, she falls asleep.

A Londoner for more than 20 years, moving from flat to Tube to air-conditioned office, Melissa Harrison knew what it was to be insulated from the seasons. Adopting a dog and going on daily walks helped reconnect her with the cycle of the year and the quiet richness of nature all around her: swifts nesting in a nearby church; ivy-leaved toadflax growing out of brick walls; the first blackbird's song; an exhilarating glimpse of a hobby over Tooting Common.

All ages allegory about climate change
Sweet all ages allegorical tale about climate change. It is not particularly subtle, but not overly heavy handed either. Just about right for the intended audience I think. There are really sweet messages about acceptance in the story too. The author’s note was a little odd, but the story itself was good.
I would suggest this for families looking for a book that everyone can listen to with kids or for kids to listen to alone. I think younger kids would especially like it or kids that are into faerie/hidden folk stories. I listened with my 10 year old kid who is a fan of faeries, and we enjoyed it.

Great Book
This is one of the best books I've ever read & listen to. I feel it was very well written and narrated.
This book has something good for everyone to feel .
I love nature, and I believe all living things have a purpose. So for me this book was Magical!
It tells a enchanting story about freindship and family on a quest, which made for great story telling.
And this book has both, warmth and heart.

a calming book bringing nature closer
I found the narration very calming, soothing, easy to follow and get absorbed into. I enjoyed it most for the nice atmosphere it creates, the introduction of different species of birds, insects, animals and plants and for including a positive model in the characters' interaction of handling different emotions, conflict, inner processes which I found very child friendly.
Overall, I enjoyed it and will listen or read with my children once they're older!
