Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea and let the Mudpuddle Bookshop work its magic on you. An unputdownable cozy fantasy for anyone who believes it's never too late for second chances, true love's kiss, or a really good cookie...
Maida Westabrook has never set foot in Primrose Court—the hidden magical neighbourhood her mother left behind years ago. But when she inherits the Mudpuddle Bookshop and Cafe, a creaky, enchanted Queen Anne house where the tea is always brewing and the lemon drizzle cookies vanish faster than you can bake them, she's pulled into a world she was never supposed to be part of.
There's just one problem: Maida is Ordinary. No magic, no powers, no pointy boots. The Mudpuddle's longtime caretaker—her formidable great-grandaunt Minerva—has spent decades protecting the shop and the priceless magical archives hidden in its vault. She's not about to hand it all over to a girl who can't even cast a cleaning spell.
But when a mysterious locket washes up and the Mudpuddle vanishes without a trace, Maida discovers she may not be quite as Ordinary as everyone assumed. Now, surrounded by feuding witches, volatile shifters, terrible cheese puns, and a century-old love story that refuses to stay buried, Maida must uncover the secrets of her family's magical legacy before it's lost for good.
