'Beautiful and engaging and clever'--Manda Scott 'A young witch to rival Tiffany Aching. Magic!'--FMA Dixon The Witches of Woodville Part 3 August 1940 In a quiet village in rural Kent, the enemy is at the gates . . . The Battle of Britain rages and Faye Bright encounters the ghost of a pilot who won't give up the fight. Before she can help him, Faye is whisked away to join a motley crew of witches to perform a top secret ritual on the White Cliffs of Dover that could repel the invaders. But there's a catch. The ritual must be executed in the nuddy. Mrs Teach threatens mutiny. Miss Charlotte is intrigued. And Faye wants to call the whole thing off when she suspects there's a spy in their midst. It's up to Faye Bright to uncover the traitor, all while dealing with the ghost haunting Ivy Barn who may hold the key to the truth. But first, Faye has to learn to fly . . . For fans of Lev Grossman and Terry Pratchett comes the third novel in this delightful series of war, mystery and a little bit of magic . . .

Set in an endearingly odd village in deepest Kent, it's full of engaging characters and weird, witchy goings-on.

Weer een heerlijk boek van Mark Stay. We volgen Faye Bright, haar vader Terrence en Bertie weer in hun strijd tegen de Duitsers in WO II. Het is wel een alternatieve wereld want magie is redelijk geaccepteerd, zeker in het stadje Woodville waar Faye woont en haar vader de plaatselijke pub runt. De inwoners van Woodville staan magie min of meer oogluikend toe. Als er tijdens een luchtgevecht twee vliegtuigen, een Duitse en een van de geallieerden, neerstorten op de schuur van Larry Dell krijgt Faye te maken met de 2 verongelukte piloten. Met hulp van Mrs. Teach en Miss Charlotte weet zij een piloot door te sturen naar het hiernamaals, maar de Poolse Leo laat zich niet zo makkelijk doorsturen. Als er elders in Groot Brittannië ook een magisch ritueel moet plaats vinden, worden alle drie de dames weggeroepen naar de White Cliffs of Dover. Natuurlijk gaat niets zonder slag of stoot en Faye heeft haar handen vol aan alle taken die ze moet uitvoeren. Gezellig en vriendelijk verhaal, waarvan je weet dat het nooit slecht zal aflopen. Dus niet nagelbijtend spannend, maar lekker lezen. En Meneer Stay belooft min of meer een volgende deel. ( )

Faye gave them a salute, and when she looked over her shoulder for Leo, he was gone.
