THE HEX FACTOR
Intriguing, action-packed and full of witchy child appeal, this is a story with an exciting and fantastic premise - oh, and a particularly brilliant title!
Xanthe Fox is hexed by the letter X. Ever since she can remember, the dreaded letter has caused her nothing but trouble. But when Xanthe arrives at her new school, things go from bad to worse. Now it’s impossible even to read a book or eat alphabet spaghetti without chaotic results - and then she accidently hexes her best friend, Monday Jones, and makes her disappear!
When she finds a hidden copy of her family tree, Xanthe starts to uncover the truth - that she’s a descendant of the True Witches and must make a terrible decision. If she accepts the ancient Turning Lock she will come fully into her powers and be able to rescue Monday. But if she refuses, and turns her back on her witchy heritage, then her best friend will be lost forever. And to make matters worse, a secret and terrifying enemy is on her trail . . . .
