Witch Grannies: The Case Of The Evil Schoolmaster

By Gary J. Byrnes

Magic loves to hide in the most unexpected places. Even on a rattling old train to rural Ireland.

Emily and Malcolm think they are in for the most boring holiday ever. Two whole weeks with their grannies in Castleconnell, a sleepy village by the River Shannon. No friends. No screens. No chance of adventure. Or so they think.

Their journey takes a sharp turn into the strange and sinister when the train slows, the lights flicker and something wicked slinks through the carriages. A shadowy figure has been terrorising local children and now he needs fresh recruits. Emily and Malcolm have just become his newest targets.

Luckily, the grannies are not what they seem. Under the cardigans and the cups of tea, they are powerful witches with ancient secrets, fierce courage and more attitude than a classroom full of teenagers. With spells that occasionally misfire and broomsticks that do not always behave, they lead the chase to stop the darkness spreading across the Shannon valley.

What follows is a wild, funny and thrilling adventure full of magic, mystery and Irish charm. A story about bravery, family and discovering that ordinary people can be extraordinary when it matters most.

Perfect for readers aged eight to eighty who love witty fantasy, spooky villains and heroic grandparents. Witch Grannies is a timeless adventure that proves the world is far more magical than it appears.
