Review

This is an action-packed spin-off, with characters from the School for Good and Evil series. Hester, Anadil and Dot, aka the Coven, are hunting for justice and truth in the world.


With the world in crisis, and war looming between the light and the dark, a call is placed to the Coven for help. But with the life source Raaka being overused by both light and dark, worlds are in turmoil, meaning fire, famine and destruction!


But as both light and dark believe that it is all the other side's fault, can the team show them the error of their ways and get the world back in balance?


Filled with evil monsters and exploring the idea that wasting precious resources leads to problems in the world, this is a terrific graphic novel suitable for readers in lower secondary and above.
