To save what is rightfully theirs, the witches must pool their unique strengths, welcome new allies, and harness the deepest magic of all: collective action and community bonding.
In a world faced with climate change and the seemingly impossible challenge of protecting the Earth, the troupe of new and old friends discover that this very tension is the spark that ignites real change. Perfect for fans of cozy, progressive LGBTQ+ fantasy, this heartwarming tale proves that fighting for social justice is a lifelong journey, and magic happens when we stand together.
"The Old Witches Camp describes a troupe of witches who come together for summer campâand all the adventures that follow. The novel masquerades as a breezy summer read. But this fun, fast-moving fantasy grapples with matters of real importance: our global environmental crisis, the challenges of aging, the importance of group solidarity to achieve lasting positive change. The bookâs characters are vividly drawnâgoofy, cranky, compassionate. The plot feels âcozyâ, but as the novel nears its end, the reader realizes that the stakes could not be higher. If you like stories that entertain but also dare to imagine a better world, The Old Witches Camp should be on your summer reading list!"
