Oh what fun this book was, just when you need a change from the norm and something slightly unusual, a book comes along and does just that! "Witch Dust" by Marilyn Messik is a fab, fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I haven't read anything by this author before but I know that she wrote the 'Strange' series (which also sounds intriguing) and I'm pleased I've been introduced to this fabulous writer as she's witty, orig. inal, fun and wholeheartedly entertaining. Her loveable characters are as diverse as they are mad, even the cat 'Ink' has its own role.
The author portrayed this brilliant story in such a way as to make me almost believe it was true - the way Sandra/Serenissima portrayed her oddball family and their magical abilities you'd think it was quite customary! I love all things to do with witches and their magic and this was just what I like, traditional and very reminiscent of 'Bewitched'.
I'm sure there'll be another book to follow - I'd be first in the line to read it since I truly enjoyed this one - so if you're looking for a light hearted and amusing book that's a pleasure to read you really can't go wrong with "Witch Dust".
A magical 5 stars!!!
