Summary

When a small-town witch gets a promotion, she must find someone who can magically take her place in this novel of friendship and self-discovery. 
 
In Avening, a tiny town on the Pacific coast, it’s hard not to believe in magic. This is a town where the shoes in the window always fit, where you can buy a love potion at the corner shop, and where the woods at the outskirts of town just might be the door to another world. And, of course, there’s Autumn, Avening’s beloved resident witch.  
 
From what’s known of its mythical founding, Avening has always been a haven for people who are a little bit different, a place where they can come to discover what makes them so special. When Autumn receives news that she’s been promoted to a higher coven, she also learns she has to replace herself. But who in Avening is in tune enough with her own personal magic to take over the huge responsibility of town witch?  
 
Autumn has a list of thirteen women and men who just might have what it takes—but she’ll have to get them to open their eyes to the magic in their lives . . .
