Each book follows the lives of four little girls from the small South West town of Witchborough as they use magic, and girl power, to solve environmental mysteries that have the potential to wreak havoc in their small town. In the spirit of Nancy Drew, these young girls will delight readers with their mystery solving abilities, animal familiars, their horses, and their magic.
