Eva Evergreen, Semi-Magical Witch by Julie Abe

Sparkling in the light streaming through the window, the whole town of Auteri was made in sugar. Each building was spun out of golden sugar strands, down to the curtains on the windows and the cobblestones in the street. In the glowing afternoon rays streaming down, the sugary town was radiant.

Book spotlight for Middle Grade Carousel June 2023: You Are My Sunshine features the book SOME SUNNY DAY by Adam Baron.

The coronavirus has everyone in lockdown, leaving Cymbeline Igloo with nothing much to do. When Cym starts a home learning project all about their school’s cook, Mrs Stebbings, a bit of exploring and an unusual encounter draws him into an investigation that turns his jumble of WWII facts into something much more mysterious.
