The Witches of Winderry Spires

No one ever knows what happens to the Clock Tower Girls ...
The last thing Lucy Broadmeadow expected was to become the Clock Tower Girl and be sent to live with the witch at faraway Winderry Spires.

But when she arrives the witch is missing, the clock won't stop chiming and an injured winged wolf-pup appears - all signs that there is a Rift tearing the world apart.

Lucy might not be magical, but she is kind and brave. And she does have the help of her new companions - Sig the water dragon and Mustard the gloomy Pegasus.

Can Lucy and her friends find the witch, save the wolf-pup and heal the Rift before time runs out?
