The loveliest tale of adventure and magic

This book took me by storm and surprise. It’s beautifully written, eloquently narrated, and leaves you feeling warm and content at the end. I can’t wait for installment 2 of the Wittershins!

A Pinch of Brilliance

I'm very hit-or-miss with middle grade books, and I can never tell which way I'm going to go. I loved this one, and I think it's partially because it's older middle grade, almost reaching into YA. But it's also because the characters are interesting, the story is well told, and it's effortlessly feminist. The narrator does a great job as well.

Enchanting!

What a fabulously well-written story, not a dullnor disconnected moment from beginning to end. Middle grade book it may be but nothing juvenile about it. Interesting, intelligent characters, engrossing stories, myraid emotions, all interwoven with magic, mystery, and adventure. And all without any overbearing romance and drama to be found in adult fiction. The narration was completely up to the mark and carried the story and all characters well. Looking forward to listening to more from Michelle Harrison.

A mixed bag

Good pacing, lively dialog, simple action - all the ingredients for a good story, from an accomplished author.

When you are young, Mother is dead, Dad is in jail, and Grandma is a pain, what to do? Be heroically plucky. Sneak into your grandmother's room to see if she is lying to you, then lie to her and steal her bag. As the narrator says, nobody is fully good or bad. And when someone else lies to you, get all huffy. Also, bewitching others will teach them to respect you.
Finally, your pluck and perseverance will help you solve the riddle that generations of women have failed to solve. At the right moment, you will discover that time travel solves all problems, and so we come to the happy beginning.

As others have speculated, time travel results in Doppelgangers, which perhaps explains why there are two versions of this book on Audible. The vast majority of time travel stories in sci-fi and fantasy make a big deal about the resulting conundrums. Not this one.
