A spellbinding middle grade fantasy about three sisters who go on a quest to break the curse that's haunted their family for generations.
All Betty Widdershins wants is an adventure--one that takes her far away from Crowstone, the gloomy island where she's always lived. But instead of an adventure, Betty and her sisters, Fliss and Charlie, are given of a set of magical objects, each with its own powers: a scruffy carpet bag, a set of wooden nesting dolls, and a gilt-framed mirror. And these magical objects come with their own terrible secret: the sisters' family is haunted by a generations-long curse that prevents them from ever leaving their island--at the cost of death.
The sisters set out to break the curse and free their family forever. But after stumbling upon a mysterious prisoner who claims to be able to help them, they find themselves in great danger. And in order to break the curse--and stay alive--they must unravel a mystery that goes back centuries, one that involves shipwrecks, smugglers, and sorcery of the most perilous kind.
- A Powerful Sibling Story: Adventurous Betty, proper Fliss, and mischievous Charlie must rely on each other to unravel a generations-long mystery and save their family.
- Three Magical Objects: A traveling carpet bag, a set of invisibility nesting dolls, and a mysterious mirror hold the key--but they come with a terrible secret.
- An Unbreakable Family Curse: For generations, no Widdershins girl has been able to leave the gloomy island of Crowstone without facing death. Can the sisters be the first to break free?
- Atmospheric Witches and Magic: A spellbinding tale of shipwrecks, smugglers, and perilous sorcery that will keep young readers turning the pages.
