It’s spring 2020 and fifteen-year-old Molly McFlynn is uprooted
from town life by her mam to live with her bohemian grandparents in
rural Northumberland. Molly is furious – her friends abandon her,
the food is inedible and her grandmother is doing strange things in
the garden at night. Life takes a new direction when she meets a
girl in the woods who appears to be on the run. Martha is from the
seventeenth century, and a life lived on the edge of society. She
is fleeing from the witch finder and the men who have hurled her
mother, Ann Watson, into the dungeons in Newcastle. As Molly’s
friendship with Martha grows, Molly reconciles with her true self,
develops a love of nature and moves away from her consumerist
lifestyle. However, as Covid strikes, and a local witch hunt takes
place, Martha’s is not the only life that is in danger. Molly
must stand up for what is right, help heal family rifts and come to
the rescue in a moment of peril. 'We all need a Molly in our lives.
Brave and impetuous, with an honest, distinctive and timely voice,
this girl is the real thing. I loved getting to know her.' Ann
Coburn, author of Glint
