Stephanie Holland’s latest book is the basis for this workshop. All welcome to this free event. Please RSVP by 21 Feb to amrlibrary@amrshire.wa.gov.au or Ph: 9780 5600
Stephanie Holland is a strategist, writer and consultant passionate about profit and impact, and leaving the world a little better than she found it. The Freedom Philosophy is her second book.
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.
