Overview
Overview
A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family--and a new love--changes the course of her life. As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don't mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she's used to being alone and she follows the rules...with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos pretending to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously. But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and...Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he's concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat. As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn't know she was looking for....

A Bewitching British Tea Cozy
Would RecommendMarilyn H. - 1 month ago"That was some excellent Mary Poppins sh*t right there," says the wide-eyed seven-year-old, as she watches her new magic teacher unpack a hatchback crammed with crates and cauldrons, a golden retriever, a full-sized greenhouse and a floating pond stocked with lily pads and koi fish. Mika Moon has arrived at Nowhere House, with its welcoming scent of ocean spray, green grass and new possibilities. Nowhere House is already home to a diversity of nice people. Plus a seldom-nice man whose devastatingly handsome scowl hides a tender heart. Plus three -- count them, three! -- young witchlings. A cluster of witches is highly irregular ........ 'The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches' by Sangu Mandanna is a magical brew of love, laughs and longing, topped off with moonlight and star shavings (plus a disconcerting sprinkling of effing rude words.)
