Starfell / Book 1 / Starfell: Willow Moss and the Lost Day

Valente, Dominique

Dominique Valente is fairly certain she has a Benjamin Button type of disease where you grow younger the older you get, as apart from an odd blip in her twenties where she was a journalist for ten years, she came to her senses and decided to make up stories about witches and grumpy monsters instead.
She grew up in South Africa, but now lives in the UK along the Suffolk coast with her husband and their bulldog, Fudge.

'A spellbinding début set in an irresistible magical world.' - Fiona Noble, The Bookseller

'A hugely funny, rip-roaring page-turner with more twists than you can shake a magic broomstick at.' Storgy Kids Magazine
