Description

'ONE OF MY COZIEST READS OF THE YEAR' EMILY HENRY She found magic in the most unlikely of places.

Mika Moon follows three rules: hide your magic, keep your head down, and stay away from other witches. Mika is good at being alone, and she doesn't mind it . . . mostly.

But when an unexpected invitation arrives to teach three young witches at the mysterious Nowhere House, Mika jumps at the chance for a different life. As she comes to care for its quirky inhabitants - and Jamie, the handsome but prickly librarian - finally belonging somewhere feels like a real possibility.

But magic isn't the only danger in the world - is it worth risking everything to protect the found family Mika didn't know she was looking for?

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