EARWIG AND THE WITCH by Diana Wynne Jones

EARWIG AND THE WITCH by Diana Wynne Jones

Everyone knows that orphanages are horrible places. But Earwig has a surprising amount of power over everyone else at St Morwalds Home for Children, and loves it there. So the last thing she wants is to be sent to live with the very strange Bella Yaga

“…a delightful sampler of her originality and imagination, with small unexpected touches” Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times Culture, Children’s Book of the Week

“There's a nice helping of magic and some brisk upbeat sentiment in this crisply written story… How the feisty Earwig outwits the pair with her own special skills and the help of Bella Yaga's cat Thomas is deliciously entertaining.” Julia Eccleshare, The Guardian
