But can Violet be trusted?

Review

Anna’s world is forever changed when the Brown family moves in next door.

Anna immediately befriends Violet, who seems to have a strange affinity with cats. But soon many other odd things happen and Anna learns of the Brown’s magic and transformation abilities.

Can Anna help her new friend against evil forces who want to harm the Brown family?

An exciting, pacy read for younger girls who like a bit of mystery and cat-associated witchery.
