When 11-year-old Alyssa is forced to spend the summer holiday with
her mum's family, who she's never met before, her latent magical
powers explode into life. Her great aunt runs a secret magic school
in her Spell Garden where local kids can hone their power. The
garden grows magical spell ingredients that have protected their
family and the wider neighbourhood for decades - ever since they
arrived from Jamaica with their mother Effie in the 1960s. But
something is going wrong and the magic is running out! Can Alyssa
use her new, unpredictable magic to set things right? A
contemporary fantasy set in a small community in North London
facing eviction and gentrification with a magical garden at the
centre of it.
