In this enchanting tale, Willow Moss teams up with new friends to uncover the secrets of a vanished kingdom and protect magic itself.

In Starfell: Willow Moss and the Vanished Kingdom, readers are reintroduced to Willow Moss, a misfit witch navigating her way through an enchanting world. This third installment in the beloved Starfell series invites young readers, particularly those aged 8 and up, to join Willow on a thrilling adventure. Accompanied by the delightful illustrations of Sarah Warburton, the book brings the magical realm of Starfell to life, captivating the imaginations of its audience. The story begins with a significant change: magical children, including Willow, are allowed to attend school alongside their non-magical neighbors. However, Willow's instincts tell her that something isn't right, especially with the Brothers of Wol lurking in the shadows.

As Willow embarks on her first day at school, she encounters Twist, an elf girl who quickly becomes her ally. Together, they set out on a mission that is both urgent and vital. The stakes are high as they work to protect the children of Starfell while unraveling the mystery of a long-lost kingdom. Their quest also involves safeguarding the very essence of magic from falling into the wrong hands. The narrative is rich with excitement, friendship, and a sense of urgency that keeps readers engaged.

Starfell: Willow Moss and the Vanished Kingdom is not just a tale of adventure; it also explores themes of trust, bravery, and the importance of standing up for what is right. With each page turn, readers will find themselves immersed in a world filled with wonder and intrigue, making this book a perfect addition to any young reader's collection.
