BBNYA

A Gift of Words by Rosalind Dando. Cover image shown against an autumn background. White text reads: BBNYA 2025 finalist! "Filled with magic and heart" "Four of my five children read this and loved it" "Fab blending of everyday life, magic, and Norse mythology."

Ok, I'm gonna need readers with tweens and teens who are fully into the autumnal witchy vibes to get on board with my magical books set in October with ravens, a Norse god and found family vibes.
