“The Power of Poppy Pendle”, the first book in the series written by Natasha Lowe, tells a story of ten-year-old Poppy who inherited great magic powers from her witch ancestors. Despite her dislike of magic, Poppy’s parents expect her to attend Ruthersfield Academy, a prestigious school for witchcraft, and follow her famous great-grandmother’s footsteps. However, Poppy does not want to be a witch — she dreams of becoming a baker, so she takes matters into her own hands.
The second book in the series is dedicated to Cat Campbell — a late blooming witch whose magical abilities were discovered late and need to be improved. Despite the fact that Cat is very passionate about witchcraft, her mother Poppy forbids her to practice magic because of what happened in Poppy’s teenage years. But when their town is threatened by a notoriously feared witch, it’s up to Cat to conquer her fears and face the danger in order to fulfill her dream.
