This book was so good.
The family dynamics in this book might be my favourite part of this. The relationship between the sisters felt so real and believable as a way to understand why the characters make the choices they do.
A pinch of magic is truly full of magic and whimsy and I loved hearing the history and law of the island and their family's magic.
Michelle Harisson's writing style flows so easily that listening to this was a breeze and I was immediately sucked into the world. Nicky Diss does a wonderful job with the audiobook and made a very clear distinction between the characters, not just in their voices but their mannerisms too. She sets the tone and I almost felt like she was in the room with me when I was listening. I'd happily listen to more read by her.

I do wonder where the sequel will go considering the ending of this one but it is definitely something I plan to pick up in future.

I really enjoyed this adventurous tale for children. A magical adventure with a heartwarming story of loyalty at its heart, a tale of three sisters working together to defeat all odds and break a family curse.

Fliss, Betty and Charlie are in a race against time to save themselves and one another. Magical items, sisterhood and a family curse - the perfect middle grade fantasy.

The audiobook for A Pinch of Magic is wonderfully narrated and the narrator's subtle shift in tone really brought the three sisters to life and added a lovely element to this story.
