This book is so much more. You learn about the prejudices toward the witches, and the prejudices they have toward others. You hear lies about them, the truths, their homes, their loves, and their losses. This is a wonderful book with such amazing insight. And it allows us to see into those lives easily. I love the characters. They are so alive and real. I found this story to be fascinating and well-written and hope to read more about the Witches of Hant Hollow."

Schoolgirls, Melanie and Amy, discover that there is a school ghost. Melanie first experiences the ghost in the school gym, the voice encouraging her to do something that she never normally does, climb the bars all the way to the top. After Melanie experiences the ghost again inside the school library, again whilst barefoot, but not on the school bus when the boys stole her shoes, Melanie encourages Amy to remove her shoes in one of their lessons the next day to see if the ghost then helps her at school. Following Amy’s experience, as the boys whistle her walking to the front of class without shoes on ready to tackle the difficult maths sum on the whiteboard, both girls test out their theories, again, in the school library, except that the head teacher catches them. Find out what happens to both girls and how it all ends with the ghost of Amelia, who apparently always visits their Victorian-built school in July.
