There are secrets hidden beneath the ice . . . bring the magic home in the frosty fourth instalment of the bestselling Pinch of Magic Adventures, from the award-winning author Michelle Harrison.
When the Widdershins sisters and Granny are called away in deepest winter to look after cousin Clarissa, it doesn’t take long for adventure – or trouble – to find them. The town of Wilderness has plenty to explore with its frozen lake and winter market, as well as being haunted by a doomed highwayman and his secret love. But the legends are true and seeing a ghostly figure one night, the girls realise that Granny is in terrible danger. As an icy storm rages, the race to save her begins – can the sisters lay Wilderness’s ghosts to rest before another soul is claimed?

I loved this book, it was a perfect end to the pinch of magic series.My favourite character is Charlie becuase of her obsession with animals.I would reccomend this book to people who like adventure stories.
One of the best books I've ever read.
Another book written by the adventurous thoughts of Michelle Harrison.
Fliss the lovebird, Betty the most adventurous child around, and last but not least Charlie, the muddiest and grossest kid in the whole of Wilderness!
The Widdershins sisters are back on, but his time with a ghost on their hands.
But will the girls bring justice or another haunting?
Both!
Great book!!!
Michelle Harrison is a great author! A pinch of magic series is my fav series!
good
like that there is a sequel
This book was a little slow to start with and I hadn't read the first 3 of the series. But when the magical sisters arrive in Wilderness the book gets more exciting. They stay in a hotel that is the setting for a local legend of the highwayman and his girlfriend who died on a frosty night long ago. But is the legend really way back in the past? Find out when you read this wonderful adventure.
This book was a fiction book, and yet it was so lifelike I felt like it wasn't even a story. It's in a series, and this the 4th book, and it was extremely good. Three sisters, Fliss, Betty and Charlie Widdershins live a peaceful life in a sweet cottage with Father and Granny after all of their adventures. When distant-relative Clarissa breaks her ankle and Granny and the three sisters are called to help, they journey to Wilderness, a forever-snow-covered village of forests and lakes and a jolly little winter market. But even the jolliest places can have a terrifying backstory and the Widdershins girls are forced to stay in Echo Hall, where they are lost to a world of crystal balls, dead highwaymen, ghosts of a girl called Elora Goode, evil couples and crashing through frozen lakes. But things aren't always what they seem, and when the girls are placed under what may be a curse, they have to work out things before it's too late. But things may have a little twist before we can wrap the story up... Anyone who loves a sense of adventure and mystery, along with a bit of fantasy, this book's for you. However, I recommend reading the others first.
At first I found this book hard to get into but after a while of reading, it soon became exciting and I couldn't put it down! This series is amazing.
By far the spookiest adventure the sisters have faced.
At first, I found this book fairly hard to get into. But, as with the other books in the series, I soon was unable to stop reading. Michelle Harrison never fails to impress.
I really loved this because on every page there was a new twist and turn to it. I liked the character Betty because she was willing to solve the mystery no matter how hard it got. I liked the bit where Mrs Chambers revealed herself to be the Highway Woman instead of the Highway Man. I would recommend it for children 9+ because it gets quite scary at the end.
I love the Pinch Of Magic series and throughly enjoyed this instalment. It was another gripping adventure with unexpected twists and turns. Fantastic job Michelle Harrison, loved it!
Mystery, tense, scary ,adventure. it is the fourth on in the series. The first is a Pinch of magic.
I absolutely loved this. It’s such an incredible set of books and know a few of my class will be delighted to see the latest one appear on the bookshelf
