The Chester Witches: A Spellbinding Children's Adventure in Historic Chester

On Chester's historic Barrel Well Hill, people once believed witches could be tested by rolling them down in barrels into the River Dee. Sink, and you were innocent. Float, and you were guilty. It's a chilling piece of Chester's past, but what if those old stories were more magical than anyone ever imagined?

The Chester Witches takes this fascinating slice of real history and reimagines it as a fun, magical children's adventure.

Meet Winona Wren, who isn't supposed to have magic... but just as she turns thirteen, her powers begin to bubble up like a cauldron. Between enchanted biscuits, talking teapots, and a school full of suspiciously gifted kids, keeping her secret is harder than brewing a perfect potion. And when whispers of Chester's witch legends return, Winona must discover whether she's strong enough to face the magic, or risk a tumble down Barrel Well Hill herself!

Why readers (and tourists) love this book:

• Brings Chester's history to life with a magical twist.

• Perfect for children, families, and visitors to Chester looking for a keepsake story.

• Combines real history, local legends, and enchanting fantasy into one spellbinding adventure.

Full of mischief, magic, and mayhem, The Chester Witches proves that some legends are more magical (and more dangerous) than history ever dared imagine.
