The Witches' Council

Young witch Lily Halfmoon and her witchy friends will have to fight off monsters and dark magic at a party in this sweet fantasy graphic novel suitable for readers who love the Dragon Girls series.

It's almost Samhain, when magic is at its strongest, and witches from all over the world are gathering at Lily's school. There will be a meeting of The Witches' Council, but there will also be plenty of fun activities like magic demonstrations, kelpie taming and flying races.

But Lily is in trouble. A mysterious person is after her rare moonstone, and if they get their hands on it, it could threaten everything Lily holds dear. Will Lily have the strength to fight for what she believes?
