Greek warrior Odysseus is desperate to make his way home to the island of Ithaca. But giants, sirens and many-headed serpents are just some of the obstacles that stand in his way. Join him on his amazing adventures in this dynamic graphic novel.

Ever since their beloved maman died, free-spirit Elfie and her teen sister, Magda, have been stuck living with their extremely grumpy aunt in boring suburbia.

That is until their older sister, Louette, arrives to rescue them in her London bus-come-travelling-bookshop, and whisks them away to freedom, and adventures travelling around France!

Elfie is delighted to be reunited with all her sisters – especially when Louette reveals that their mother left them all special gifts. Elfie’s is a notebook, which she fills with stories – just like her mum used to do.

Only it turns out, the notebook isn’t a notebook. It’s a grimoire – a witch’s spellbook! And when Elfie writes her stories in it, magic come to life . . .

Now Elfie must work out how to use her magic for good – and help solve a mystery which has torn a small village in Northern France apart.

In Elfie’s second adventure, The Song of the Cicadas, Elfie, Louette and Magda arrive in their book-bus in Gonerbes, a sun-baked village in Provence. They’ve come to visit Alistair Kinloch, a writer who was friend’s with their maman. But Elfie quickly finds a new mystery to solve: someone has been threatening Alistair, and his beloved vintage typewriter, a gift from Maman, has been stolen . . . Worst still, it seems that Alistair’s inspiration was stolen with it – and now Alistair can no longer write!

But who would want to harm Alistair, and why? It’s up to Elfie – and some new magical friends – to find out . . .

Full of joy, mischief, family and friendships – as well as magic, of course – Elfie’s adventures are sure to cast a spell on all her readers!
