The Witch Of Turlingham Acadmy

The Witch of Turlingham Academy Books 1-5

REVIEWED BY SOPHIE THOMPSON

The main characters in all five books are Sophie Morrow, Franklin Poulter (Sophie’s father), Katy Gibson (Sophie’s BFF and Callum’s boyfriend), Callum Pearce (Sophie’s first BFF), and Ashton Gibson (Katy’s brother and Sophie’s boyfriend\enemy!)

Book 1 (The Witch of Turlingham Academy), Sophie and Callum go into Mrs Morrow’s desk to find some report cards. However, when they get there, they find a parcel that says:

Miss Sophie Morrow

Turlingham Academy

Norfolk.

They are very puzzled why Sophie’s mum had kept it from her all those months. Who could have sent the parcel and what was inside?

Book 2, (Undercover magic) Sophie Morrow is in bed when she hears a knock on the door and she thinks that it’s her mum. Actually, it is Katy, Sophie’s BFF (best friend forever) and when she gets to the door, Katy gives her a friendship bracelet. Katy put fruits and leaves because of her green fingers. The reason she has green fingers is because she is a…WITCH!!!

Book 3 (Secrets and Sorcery). The whole of Turlingham Academy buzzed with the noise of five hundred boarders filing in for assembly. Sophie went in with them, scanning the rows of boys and girls dressed in red and grey for Katy. Monday morning was always about the weekend gossip, but this morning’s gossip was completely different! There was all the stuff with her wicked Aunt Angelica, and Sophie’s dad coming back from nowhere. Sophie was awake most of night, every time she shut her eyes she woke up again, remembering the magic orbs flying past her head, and her father rushing in to save her and Katy.

Book 4 (Box of Tricks). Sophie pushed through the crowd gathered in the grounds of Turlingham Academy and stood on tiptoe to see over someone’s shoulder. All the teachers, pupils, visitors and even reporters were outside to watch the big event. Today the teachers of Turlingham were digging up the time capsule, buried when the school was first built. Sophie couldn’t wait to see what was inside – it was 300 years old! The boys’ headmaster, Mr Pearce, and the history teacher, were digging away just inside the fence. They were hot and sweaty.

Book 5 (Spellbound). Sophie hurried across the courtyard in front of Turlingham Academy, holding a gold-wrapped present and a white a white envelope. It was the last day of the Christmas term, and the front drive was full up with cars. Parents and children squealed with delight as they saw each other in ages.

I would recommend these books to 8+.
