Since ancient times, the Kalika people have claimed a mystical connection with the earth and the nature spirits. But their knowledge is fading. It has been over a hundred years since Chief Wicasa came to protect the forest with his herbs and his powerful spells. Now an evil sorcerer threatens the land, and the only person who can help the Kalika is a child who doesn't know they exist.
The first book in the popular Kalika Magic series by Australian children's author, Karen Hughes, is a spellbinding adventure in which two friends encounter forgotten magic, hidden islands, secret caves and bad-tempered tree spirits. Perfect for kids aged 8-12.
