Binny Bewitched by Hilary McKay

5.0

---

I just loved this finale to the Binny trilogy. Her Bohemian, haphazard family lives in a tiny, shabby house in a little town in Cornwall. An old lady moves in next door and casually offers to buy their house so she can enlarge her own. Instantly she becomes an enemy and Binny sees her dollmaking and portraits as a form of witch craft. There's also Pete who has been repairing their house and never seems to be finished, for some strange reason. Oh, there's plenty of magic afoot of different kinds.
