Incredibly atmospheric, these books transport you to the island of Crowstone where the Widdershins have always lived. The middle Widdershin sister, Betty, is craving adventure and a new environment. But instead of adventure she learns of a family curse that prevents her from leaving the island... ever. This first book establishes the relationship between the sisters (Fliss, Betty, and Charlie) and the characters of each of them. The side characters compliment but do not detract from these three core heroines.
The second book picks up after the curse has been lifted, but once again the sisters are faced with a seemingly insurmountable challenge when Charlie goes missing. Magic is at the core of the issue and they have to rely on each other and some new friends to see their way out of the mess they are in. There are pirates and a mysterious island and the sisters have to use kindness, ingenuity, and bravery to prevail.
