Competition Three


In Chapter Three, Elle and Izzy discover a small wooden box, buried in the earth. When they open it, they find the treasures that belonged to one of the witches executed on the Town Moor in 1650.

‘Oh, wow...look at this stuff!’ Eleanor levered the box out of the mud. She tipped the contents into her hand. Pewter coloured coins, strange round bells and a necklace, blackened with age sat in her palm.

‘There’s something else in there, Elle – look!’ Izzy pointed at a lumpy package, wrapped in brown paper. Eleanor picked it out, and some of the paper flaked into the box. Izzy picked up a fragment. ‘Look, it has drawings and some sort of writing on it.’ She held the paper out to Eleanor. Spidery writing, strange symbols and stars covered the paper. Eleanor carefully peeled the paper open. Inside, there was a chain that ended with a grubby but still glittering stone.

To enter the competition, this is what you have to do.

Imagine that you have found a box with something magickal inside. What is it? How do you know it is magickal? What does it do?

The prize is a Walking With Witches T shirt, a signed copy of the book and  something amazing - I rather want to keep it myself! In the chest that the girls discover, there are some pieces of jewellery. A sterling silver pendant set with moonstones and black onyx is up for grabs as the grand prize in this competition. For yourself or as a present, it's beautiful!
