When ordinary girl Bea Black moves to Little Spellshire with her dad, he accidentally enrolls her in the local witch school. What could possibly go wrong?

Bea Black has just moved to Little Spellshire with her dad, who accidentally enrolls her in the local witch school. Bea (who is very much NOT a witch) has to tackle complicated classes like potions and levitation, take care of the class frog, and most importantly of all, figure out how to keep her magic a secret from her dad and her best friend! Features black-and-white illustrations throughout.

Told through Bea's diary entries, the Diary of an Accidental Witch series invites readers to follow Bea on a humorous journey of self-discovery as she learns where she truly belongs.
Perdita and Honor Cargill are a mother/daughter writing partnership and the authors of the series Waiting for Callback. Originally from the Scottish Highlands, Perdita spent many years as a lawyer before turning to writing fiction. Honor, having recently graduated from Oxford, is working on fiction and nonfiction writing projects as well as studying for a masters degree at the Courtauld Institute of Art. They both live in London.

Katie Saunders knew she wanted to be an illustrator when she had a picture published in Twinkie Magazine at the age of five. Katie worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time illustrator. Katie lives in Kent with her partner, two children, two cats and a crazy sausage dog named Rolo.
