This one’s for the potion makers, spellcasters, and broom riders! In this session, a coven of bewitchingly talented authors gather over a bubbling cauldron of stories. NYT bestselling author Claribel A. Ortega dives into action with The Golden Frog Games (Book 2 in the Witchlings series), in which Seven Salazar navigates a world filled with monstrous secrets and cutthroat competition. In The Gingerbread Witch, YA author Alexandra Overy’s sugar-and-spice protagonist Maud embarks on a journey through the menacing Shadelands to save her family. Meanwhile, matchmaking magic abounds in author Claire Kann’s Harmony and Heartbreak (Suitehearts #1) as cousins Rose and Cora make their way through love-laced drama and mystical powers. And author Marti Dumas merges real life with fantasy in Charmed Life (Wildseed Witch #2), where former friends Hasani and LaToya each must juggle a bitter rivalry, a school mystery, and their rapidly developing magical abilities. Get ready to put your witch hats on with young moderators from Cinnamongirl, Inc.! Ages 8–13.
