Hexed

SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 LAUGH OUT LOUD AWARDS FOR TEENS

'It's hard to come up with a fresh witch plot, but Julia Tuffs has achieved it ... reminiscent of 'Sex Education' and Jill Murphy's 'The Worst Witch', but with it's own strong, personal flavour' - The Times

'Hexed is pure fierce magical genius. I can't wait for everyone to read this book' - Kate Weston, author of Diary of a Confused Feminist

Jessie Jones has just discovered she's a witch. Too bad there isn't a hex to make slimy Callum Henderson and his friends disappear ... yet**. The first book in a feisty, funny YA series about discovering your place and your power.**

New girl, new school, new life on stupid island - thanks Mum. All Jessie Jones wants is to keep her head down, avoid school douchebag Callum Henderson, and coast - middle-of-the-road-like. But when strange powers start to manifest during crippling period pains, flying under the radar seems highly unlikely.

Can Jessie embrace her new-found witchiness, control her erratic powers and work out a way to bring down Callum and his cult of toxic masculinity?

Sabrina the Teenage Witch meets Sex Education - a YA debut perfect for fans of Holly Bourne.
