A Cozy Middle-Grade Fantasy Adventure Filled with Magic, Friendship, and Heart
Gia has never traveled without her parents before.
When she is sent to spend the summer with her grandmother in the mysterious Whispering Forest, she expects a quiet visit. Instead, she discovers a cottage full of enchanted books, talking owls, living brooms, glowing mushrooms, and a candle-topped toad named Candletoad.
Most surprising of all?
Her grandmother is the Good Witch of the Whispering Forest.
As Gia begins learning the ways of magic, strange things start happening throughout the forest. Healing potions stop working. Ancient magic begins to fade. Creatures grow restless. When a mysterious sickness threatens the Heartwood, the oldest tree in the forest, Gia must journey into forgotten places alongside her loyal familiar Candletoad, the wise owl Philos, and the brave woodsman Bram.
From glowing marshes and hidden mushroom kingdoms to ancient guardians and magical mysteries, Gia discovers that being a witch is about more than casting spells. It means listening, helping others, and finding courage even when you're afraid.
Perfect for readers who love Studio Ghibli-inspired adventures, cozy fantasy, magical forests, talking animal companions, and heartfelt coming-of-age stories.
Join Gia on her first magical adventure and discover the song hidden within the Whispering Forest.
