What do teenagers get stressed about? Their looks, spots, homework, bullies, parents, allowances, exams, falling out with mates and, of course, having enough money for those so-cool jeans! Young herself and perfectly in touch with what makes them tick, practising white witch, Marie, covers all the issues pertinent to the modern teenager, giving them the means of replacing adolescent powerlessness with a sense of control, and helping them to establish their self-image and self-esteem. The huge contemporary appeal of white witchcraft – especially in the teenage market – will mean this imaginative title will simply float off the shelves!
