The Wheel of Fortune (#1 The Queen's Favorite Witch)

Author(s): Benjamin Dickson

Early Readers

Elizabethan England is a time of superstition and strange goings on. If you have a problem, it's common to go to a witch for help. And Queen Elizabeth I is no different. When Daisy - a precocious young witch - learns of the death of the Queen's Royal Witch, she flies to London to audition as her replacement. But Daisy is from a poor family, and they don't let just anyone into the Royal Court. The only way into the palace is to take a job as a cleaner. As Daisy cleans the palace, she draws the attention of Elizabeth's doctor (and arch-heretic) John Dee, who places her into the auditions - much to the chagrin of her more well-to-do competitors. But Dee knows how dangerous the corridors of power have become, with dark forces manipulating events for their own ends. To him, Daisy represents a wild card - one that may decide the fate of many. With so many wanting her to fail, Daisy will need all her grit and determination to make it through these auditions - not to mention a sense of daring and adventure. . .
