The Good Witch of Abbotsford written by Alasdair Hutton is a story about courage, bravery and doing the right thing. CHILDRENSFICTION

Short, sharp adventure story which will keep younger readers engrossed throughout. The beautiful artwork is an added bonus! MRS_MCKENZIEREADS

All in all, just a wonderful, fun, wholesome read that Amelie-Rose read with a little help from me here and there. FATGUYREADING

It is a great length for young readers, as it is long enough to entice more progressed readers, but still short enough they they don't lose their way or interest before they see Morag helping the children. PAUSE_THEFRAME

If you've got a kiddo around 5 or older who digs magical stories with heart, grab this book immediately. L POWERS, GOODREADS USER

[My daughter] was able to read most of the book by herself with just a little support in some places so it is a brilliant book for young readers to develop their confidence in reading by themselves! THEWEEBOOKREVIEWERS

I really liked the historical link to Sir Walter Scott, and as a child would definitely have wanted to learn more after reading this. Actually, I still do as an adult! CHARLOTTE, GOODREADS USER

It's a great story, interspersed with facts and fiction, with memorable illustrations. VARSH, GOODREADS USER
