Coven Road

Most girls dream of being a princess, but Bella Donna has always longed to be a witch.

The only thing she wants more is to find a family to take her out of the children’s home where she lives.

But no one seems quite right - until she meets Lilith.

Too Many Spells

Bella Donna appears to be a regular girl at a regular school with her regular friends, but she has a secret – she is really a young witch!

She’s working hard at learning her spells, and is desperate to win the Spell-Casting Contest. But when strange things start happening at school, Bella begins to wonder if she can really control her magic . . .

Witchling

Bella Donna is a witchling – a young witch who must keep her powers a secret, and only use magic when she’s at home in the enchanted Coven Road.

But it’s hard to stick to the rules when magic is such fun. There are so many things Bella can’t quite resist, like flying on her broomstick and trying out some very special spells . . .

Cat Magic

Bella Donna’s favourite cat has always been Pegatha, who loves to sleep on her bed and follow Bella around like a little shadow.

But then Pegatha begins to behave very strangely, and soon Bella realises that someone has cast a spell on her!

But why would anyone bewitch a cat?

Witch Camp

Bella Donna is very excited to be going to her very first Witch Camp

but when everything starts to go wrong, someone must have cast a spell - but who?
