Follow Mischief a rather sarcastic witch’s cat, as he trains up his rather dim-witted successor. As guardians of a great and ancient secret, the unlikely friends become entangled in an evil plot to steal the magic from every coven in the land. The strange truth behind witchcraft and the true origins of magic is about to be revealed. If you’ve been waiting for answers to some of life’s most perplexing questions: Why do cats have 9 lives? Who really domesticated the first humans? Why are dogs no longer a cat’s best friend? Is the author completely mad? Can I really resist reading this nonsense? Then the answer to the last question is, don’t! A spin off from the award-winning Young Adult series Maya's Magical Adventures, but a “cracking good stand-alone work in its own right!” Hall of fame Amazon reviewer NN Light says of the series: "Looking for what to read after Harry Potter? Pick this up today! A must read for all fantasy readers, 5 stars.”

Hilarious and surprising sequel to the 2017 Purple Dragonfly prize winning young adult novel Maya's Magical Adventures. Join Maya, her rather grumpy and unhelpful cat Mischief, dragon Blink and friends on another laugh-out-loud mystery as she comes face to face with magical and terrifying foes on an impossible quest to restore her friend's magic bone and with it her powers. To find and restore the lost magic bone and defeat her enemies, Maya and her friends must gather the ingredients for the impossible spell, each of which, naturally enough, it is impossible to find or does not exist. So if you want to find out how to find something that cannot be found, gather ingredients that do not exist and cast an impossible spell that can never be cast ... Stop! Don't read this. It's impossible!
