A children's graphic novel series by Christophe Arleston, Audrey Alwett and Mini Ludvin  
Translated from French by Anam Zafar

"Beautifully illustrated, and full of warmth,
wit and joyful witchy magic, this utterly charming new graphic novel series follows a young girl, Elfie, who discovers that she has magical powers. Together she and her sisters travel around France in their London bus-cum-bookstore, solving local mysteries as they go – and uncovering magic and secrets, too." (BookBrunch)


Ever since their mum died, free-spirit Elfie and her teen sister, Magda, have been stuck living with their extremely grumpy aunt in boring suburbia.

That is until their older sister, Louette, arrives to rescue them in her London bus-come-travelling-bookshop, and whisks them away to freedom, and adventures travelling around France!
Elfie is delighted to be reunited with all her sisters - especially when Louette reveals that their mother left them all special gifts. Elfie's is a notebook, which she fills with stories - just like her mum used to do.
Only it turns out, the notebook isn't a notebook. It's a grimoire - a witch's spellbook! And when Elfie writes her stories in it, magic come to life . . .
