A new favorite! Completely charming and delightful! I loved every magical second!' Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of THE SPELLSHOP
'Cat Dragon is charming, gentle and all that a cosy fantasy should be!' Lucy Jane Wood, Sunday Times bestselling author of Rewitched and Uncharmed 🍂🍂🍂 In the whimsical world of Tangleroot Valley, magic flows like the seasons, and every witch has her cat dragon - except Aloysia Papplewick. She's far from bonding with her fiery feline familiar, and with her magical farm in chaos, her prattling pumpkin patch meddling in her life and the annual Harvest Festival to prepare for, Aloysia has enough to handle - even before her best friend's insufferable brother, Hollis, brings danger and distraction to her door. When she and Hollis are whisked away on a quest to a mysterious mountain, Aloysia must contend with magic, mayhem - and a spark she never expected. Embrace the magic as this delightful tale weaves a cozy spell of adventure, self-discovery, friendship and romance. For fans of Studio Ghibli, Harry Potter, The Spellshop and cottagecore. - Readers are LOVING Cat Dragon! 'Light, charming, and just the right amount of swoon.
