Things get worse when Bill is kidnapped by a race of amphibious shape-shifting goblins, and it seems even the magic of the Wise Ones won’t be enough to save the day. Bryony sets off to find her father, whilst Edwin seeks the help of the cocky Weather Vane; but a trap has been set, and it soon becomes apparent that Wychetts’ enemies are planning more than global weather chaos... Rich in magic, mystery and humour, the Wychetts series of books are stories for 9-12 year olds which adults will also enjoy.

“Welcome to the Dungeon of Dreams... the dungeon from which there is no escape. You are doomed to rot in the darkness, never again to feel the sun on your face. Your emaciated body will feed the ravenous rats, and your tortured soul will linger in these foul confines for eternity...” It’s Bryony’s birthday, and Edwin has prepared a party for his stepsister. Then a letter arrives that changes everything, and the surprise appearance of an old acquaintance sparks a journey through time in a race to save Wychetts from a deadly magic spell. Whilst in the dungeon, in the deep dark dankness, someone is waiting for Bryony... The sixth book in the Wychetts series plunges Edwin and Bryony into an exhilarating adventure in a world where everything is not as it seems. What is the secret of the dungeon? Can Bryony escape to meet up with her mother? What is 'slunge'? And why does Edwin end up wearing a pair of yellow tights? The answer to all these questions and more can be found in this penultimate episode of the Wychetts saga!

The seventh book in the Wychetts series by William Holley. Bryony is living the perfect life with her parents in their perfect detached house in Mossy Glade Close. But she has dreams, weird nightmares of a crooked old house, a smiling wooden face and an irritating ginger haired boy. And magic, lots of magic! Clever Doctor Masters tells Bryony that her dreams are nothing to worry about. Not so far away, an imprisoned Edwin has discovered the truth; but can he escape to warn his stepsister that the world is facing a threat even greater than that of the evil Shadow Clan? And all the while the moon is growing larger, and the prophecy of the Wise Ones is coming true... Beware the Moon of Magister! Wychetts and the Moon of Magister is the epic finale to the Wychetts series, in which the young Guardians face their most dangerous challenge yet!

The third book in the Wychetts series. “Forgive me, but you must be lost if you’re heading towards Barrenbrake Farm...” A pleasant country hike turns into a struggle to save the world, when a shortcut home takes Bryony, Edwin and their parents through a derelict farm manned by walking scarecrows. Held captive by the farm’s cruel owners, the children must face their darkest fears to prevent an old enemy raising an ancient power and plunging the whole planet into eternal darkness...

The fourth book in the Wychetts series. “The Tome Terriblis is different to most spell books,” explained Inglenook. “Instead of reading the spells, you have to write them yourself. The power in the Tome takes the words and turns them into magic.” Bryony’s lips curved into a smile. “So whatever I write would actually happen?” “Indeed. But as I said, the book is not for lending. If the Tome Terriblis fell into the wrong hands, the results could be catastrophic.” Secretly ‘borrowing’ the Tome from the Wychetts library, Bryony uses its magic to make her the brainiest pupil in her class, and unwittingly wins a place at a special new school for intellectually gifted children. Suspecting Bryony of cheating, the jealous Edwin discovers the Tome and takes Bryony’s place. All seems to be going well when he makes a new friend, but Edwin soon realises the green haired girl called Maddy is not all she seems, and that the Schrunkopf Institute is hiding a sinister secret. Unable to use Wychetts' magic, Bryony and Edwin must stop the crazed Professor Schrunkopf conducting his twisted experiments and prevent the power of the Tome Terriblis being unleashed by a vengeful witch...

“Dear Mum, we have just moved into our new house, although there’s nothing much new about it. It’s called Wychetts and is falling to bits. There’s no electricity, so I’m having to write this by candlelight. Even worse, I’ve got to share a room with HIM.” Old and crumbling it might be, but the derelict cottage contains an amazing secret: an ancient magic power that enables Bryony and her hated stepbrother Edwin to make their wishes come true! But the children soon discover there are things that even magic cannot fix; and when their plans to rid themselves of each other go wrong, Bryony and Edwin must work together to save Wychetts, and the world, from the clutches of the evil Shadow Clan... Rich in magic, mystery and humour, Wychetts is a book for 9-12 year olds which adults will also enjoy.

The second book in the Wychetts series. “This is not the key to a door, but the Key to Magic itself.” But there is only one Wychetts Key, and there are two Guardians... A summer holiday becomes a nightmare for Bryony and Edwin, when an argument about the Wychetts Key causes a freak surge of magical energy. The Key is lost, and the children are plunged into a sinister animal underworld. On one side is the notorious Ratello Mob, the meanest rat gang ever; on the other is the Sisterhood, a brood of venomous spiders led by the twisted Widow Splicefinger. At the mercy of the island’s criminal inhabitants, Bryony and Edwin must forge rival alliances in a quest to find the Key and control its power. But a far more terrible danger awaits them in the Pit...
