Perched precariously on the brink of adulthood, it’s little wonder that teenagers wobble occasionally.  All that love stuff you deal with, exam stress and rows over what you can and cannot wear.   It’s a nightmare.  

Yet the teenage years are also the stuff of dreams.  The first kiss, romance, your whole future a blank canvas on which to paint your destiny.   ‘You just have to learn to ride the hormone-fuelled roller coaster with both hands in the air and screaming “Whoopeeee!” ’, says Marina Baker, author of the best-selling Spells for Teenage Witches.

In this, her latest book, Marina shows you how.   ‘Learn to think for yourself,’ she says.   ‘Make the right choices for you and don’t worry if adults sometimes disagree.   They’re not always right, you know.   In fact, quite often they’re wrong.’

Many of the issues covered in this book are in response to the countless letters and emails she has received from teenagers around the world.   ‘Love, friendships, parents and the state of the planet.   That’s what matters to young people today.’
