The Last Spell Breather

by Julie Pike

Perfect for KS2 & KS3

A stunning fantasy debut, enter the unique world of the Spell Breathers.

Spell Breathing does not come naturally to Rayne – she loathes the hours of practice, the stacks of scrolls, and the snapping mud devils that cover her mothers precious spell book.

But it is spell breathing that keeps her village safe from the dreaded monster curse that plagues their world.

It is ancient powerful magic, but as Rayne learns to her horror . . . it is also fragile. In one clumsy move, the magic that keeps them safe is broken, her village is plunged into danger, and an incredible adventure begins . . .
