Wildwitch: Life Stealer

From Lene Kaaberbøl, known as the Danish J.K. Rowling: Book three in the Wildwitch series, an acclaimed new children's fantasy series about a young girl who can communicate with and control the natural world.

A sparrow flitting under the forest canopy, a snake slithering on its belly across a carpet of leaves, a hawk swooping down on a squirrel: Clara finds herself drawn into a variety of animal minds and caught up in a deadly dance of predator and prey.

The dramatic and mysterious third part in the Wildwitch story sees Clara discover more about her magical powers and about herself, as an unexpected and frightening new danger emerges from the shadows."[A] series of quick-fire fantasy novels." — Telegraph (UK)

"Fast-paced, lively, at times quite scary and thrilling, and still perfectly suitable even for young fantasy fans who may have just about grown out of Sibéal Pounder and Laura Ellen Anderson’s Witch Wars but are not quite read for Sally Green’s Half Bad." — School Librarian

Young readers will be delighted to hear that there are more adventures to come for Clara." - LovereadingAward-winning and highly acclaimed writer of fantasy, Lene Kaaberbøl was born in 1960, grew up in the Danish countryside and had her first book published at the age of 15.
