Witchspark coming October 10 2024!

“In a market packed with magical middle-grade, Witchspark stands out because of its quirky, spirited heroines (one of whom has a limb difference), historical-inspired, fantastical plot and the splendid Huswyvern (the magical house) itself.” ― The Bookseller

“Witchspark is everything I could possibly want in a book. Ghibli vibes, Series of Unfortunate Events vibes, Worst Witch vibes. There are so many ingenious ideas that have built such vivid, deliciously gothic images in my mind. ― Laura Ellen Anderson

“Witty, warm and wonderfully bold. Loved it.” – Elle McNicoll author of A Kind of Spark.

Breathtakingly imaginative and jam-packed with irresistible characters that you’ll wish were real, Witchspark is a whirlwind adventure of friendship, hope and high-stakes magic. I recommend children of all ages be bold, be bright and begin reading! ― Jennifer Bell, author of Magicalia

About the author

Dominique Valente is fairly certain she has that disease where you grow younger the older you get, as the closest she got to being a grown-up was during a brief glitch in her twenties and early thirties as a journalist. Thankfully, she came to her senses and and now spends most of her days in her pyjamas, dreaming about grumpy monsters, quirky dragons, and magic.

Born in South Africa with one arm, her books are in many ways a love-letter to anyone who has ever felt different or that they didn’t fit in. She lives now in Suffolk with her husband and her dog.
