Description: Women accused of witchcraft throughout history were often educated, independent, unmarried, and unwilling to fall in line with traditional societal expectations. This anthology contains 16 diverse witchy tales from feminist authors and reveals a universal truth: there's nothing more powerful that a teenage girl who believes in herself.
Brief description: TESS SHARPE (she/her) is the author of books for children, teens and adults, including Far From You and The Girls I've Been. She lives in the backwoods with a pack of dogs and a cabal of slightly feral forest cats.
Review Quotes: "...this powerful and diverse collection is perfect for fans of female-led fantasy stories. No damsels in distress to be found here." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"At the heart of each [story] is a girl (or girls) learning to discover her power...The collective impact is undeniably resounding, and the particularly strong back half will leave readers more than a little bewitched themselves." -Booklist (starred review) "[A] provocative, eclectic collection." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This collection brings together short, witchy stories from fifteen brilliant YA authors...It's a whole lot of magical fun, and a definite must-read for all the witches in your life." -Bustle
