A story of witchcraft, orphans and a dangerous search for home. Employing classic traditions and motifs of childhood fantasy, this story takes the simple premise of the orphan in search of family and love and spins a fresh and entertaining tale of family honor and witchcraft. The fates of Sharron, Wally and Chip are bound by their family's murky history when they find themselves united as strangers in the house of their great aunt Abadelle. Discovering their connection to an ancient witching family, they are soon practicing magic, and learning the spells they will need to save themselves and their family name. In a spell-binding quest combining a fascination with magic, a bit of sleuthing, and the charm of adolescent antics the three young apprentices bring a unique slant to historical witch hunts. This is the first book in the Dramsmit Childrens Mysteries. The second book in the series, The Fourth Charm, will be out in November. These adventures brings together the magic of Harry Potter and the mysteries of the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series to a new plateau.
