Lina is not like the other children in the fishing village. She prefers the company of a gecko and a bucket full of beetles. Her pets, along with the mark on her chin, convince the local children that Lina is a witch. Putting herself to the test, Lina discovers that she can fly higher than she ever imagined.
Inspired by tales of the Majare witches from the Aeolian Islands of Sicily, and illustrated in bright watercolours, this book is sure to delight children of all ages.
