Big Juice Read Competition
In honour of The Juice Festival, we are holding a new competition! In chapter eighteen, the girls cast a spell:
Suddenly, the air was filled with the scent of apples and
cinnamon.‘Elle – oh, look!’ Isabel pointed at the edge of the graveyard, at a gnarled old tree. Mist tinged with blue light sparkled in the moonlight, coiling round the trunk. It flowed just above the ground, tracing light beams across fallen leaves and stones as it moved.
‘It’s making a circle…’ Eleanor breathed. As the ends of the
circle met, there was a flash and a wall of blue light shot up in the
air. The column of light eddied inside like oil shifting on water,
making patterns of mauve and green. Shapes wafted backwards
and forwards like fronds of seaweed. As the girls watched, they
saw the shapes forming faces, bodies, arms and legs. Long hair
flowed and skirts billowed as the shapes became women, dancing
in a circle, holding hands. They smiled and laughed silently as they whirled faster and faster. Suddenly, they raised their arms above their heads and beams of glittering light shot into the air,
sparkling in the darkness.
To enter the competition, this is what you have to do. Write your own spell. Will you turn your annoying auntie into a toad? Or will you turn litter and rubbish into flowers and butterflies? It's your choice. Remember to include some strange and wonderful ingredients in your potion!
