The Hawkweed Prophecy
by Irena Brignull (Author)

Booktalk: Poppy Hooper and Ember Hawkweed couldn’t lead more different lives. Poppy is a troubled teen: moving from school to school, causing chaos wherever she goes, never making friends or lasting connections. Ember is a young witch, struggling to find a place within her coven and prove her worth. Both are outsiders: feeling like they don’t belong and seeking escape.

Poppy and Ember soon become friends, and secretly share knowledge of their two worlds. Little do they know that destiny has brought them together: an ancient prophecy, and a life-changing betrayal. Growing closer, they begin to understand why they’ve never belonged and the reason they are now forever connected to each other.

Snippet: After school Poppy found Leo. She had guarded her news within her all day long, but she wanted to badly to release it. For years she’d existed in a blur of confusion and doubt, but now she had clarity. At last her life made sense. She felt like a whole new person and longed to introduce herself.
