4-6Witches of Benevento series.
Illustrated by
Sophie Blackall.
Welcome to Benevento, a nineteenth-century Italian village that's home to five adventurous children and "more witches than anywhere else in the world." Each small-trim book provides a different character's view of a few tumultuous weeks one spring. Marciano's folkloric-style storytelling and Blackall's gorgeous illustrations (from marginalia to full spreads) are unusually symbiotic in creating a world that feels simultaneously fantastical and realistic. Review covers the following Witches of Benevento titles: The All-Powerful Ring and Mischief Season.
