Sara says, “As a YA junky, I’m always on the hunt for a great young adult novel. Threadneedle by Cari Thomas introduces us to Anna, a young witch who has been taught to hide her magic since she was little. Then, in Anna’s 6th year at an all-girls school in London, she meets Effie, another witch and Anna’s complete opposite. Anna’s life is turned upside as she joins a coven and discovers all that she is capable of. This is a great choice for fans of The Craft (90’s teens for the win!).”

Threadneedle  

By Cari Thomas    

“In this beautiful coming-of-age book, Thomas tackles big issues, family secrets and heartbreak in a brilliantly imagined, yet authentic world.” Woman’s Weekly 

Cari Thomas was fascinated with magic at a young age, and the Sunday Times bestseller Threadneedle, Thomas’s first novel, is the culmination of that love of magic. Check out this young adult fantasy novel if magic and covens pique your interest.
