Hexed

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 LAUGH OUT LOUD AWARDS FOR TEENS

Its hard to come up with a fresh witch plot, but Julia Tuffs has achieved it ... reminiscent of Sex Education and Jill Murphys The Worst Witch, but with its own strong, personal flavour - The Times

Hexed is pure fierce magical genius. I cant wait for everyone to read this book - Kate Weston, author of Diary of a Confused Feminist

Jessie Jones has just discovered shes a witch. Too bad there isnt a hex to make slimy Callum Henderson and his friends disappear ... yet. The first book in a feisty, funny YA series about discovering your place and your power.

New girl, new school, new life on stupid island - thanks Mum. All Jessie Jones wants is to keep her head down, avoid school douchebag Callum Henderson, and coast - middle-of-the-road-like. But when strange powers start to manifest during crippling period pains, flying under the radar seems highly unlikely.

Can Jessie embrace her new-found witchiness, control her erratic powers and work out a way to bring down Callum and his cult of toxic masculinity?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Sex Education - a YA debut perfect for fans of Holly Bourne.
