A Pinch of Magic by Michelle Harrison invites readers into a spellbinding middle-grade fantasy. The story revolves around three sisters:

Betty Widdershins: Adventurous and yearning for an escape from the gloomy island of Crowstone where she has always lived.
Charlie Widdershins: Curious and eager to unravel mysteries.
Fliss Widdershins: Proper and cautious, she balances her sisters’ adventurous spirits.

Their lives take an unexpected turn when they inherit magical objects—a scruffy carpet bag, wooden nesting dolls, and a gilt-framed mirror. But these objects come with a terrible secret: their family is cursed, preventing them from leaving the island without facing death. Determined to break the curse, the sisters embark on a perilous quest. Along the way, they encounter a mysterious prisoner who claims to hold the key to their freedom.
