A lone witch has powers. A coven has a multitude more. New girl and secret witchl Iris just wants to get through her first day of school without a panic attack. The last thing she expects is to be taken in by a coven of three witches-soft-spoken Greta, thoughtful and musical Ridley, and fiery and spirited Binx. They may be the first witches Iris has met IRL, but their coven is not alone in their small northwestern town. The Triad is the other coven at their school. When the Triad's not using spells to punish their exes or break up happy couples for fun, they practice dark magic. The two covens have a rivalry stretching all the way back to junior high. When tragedy strikes and one of their own is murdered, the rival covens must band together to find out who is responsible before it's too late. Someone's anti-witch ideology has turned deadly . . . and one of them is next. With an inclusive cast of teen witches who leap off the page with style, attitude, and charm, B*Witch is a singable read perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Mean Girls alike.

Tutto comincia nel 2010, quando una sedicenne simpatica e carina posta su YouTube un brevissimo filmato: "Ragazzi, so che vi sembrerà strano" e confessa il sospetto che la casa in cui si è appena trasferita con la madre sia infestata dai fantasmi. La madre non le crede e lei decide di documentare il fenomeno scattando foto. Nel giro di pochi anni la serie di brevi filmati che la vedono protagonista diventa uno straordinario successo, con 130 milioni di visualizzazioni e oltre 313.000 follower su Instagram, Twitter, Facebook e YouTube. Il romanzo dona profondità al racconto che ha stregato così tanti seguaci. Sunshine, questo il soprannome della ragazza, percepisce la risata di una bambina, nota oggetti spostati in casa e arriva a convincersi che in passato una bambina di sette anni sia stata affogata nel bagno del piano di sopra. Kat, la madre adottiva con cui Sunshine ha sempre avuto un rapporto molto aperto e affettuoso, insiste nel dire che è tutto frutto di immaginazione e comincia a comportarsi in modo sempre più incomprensibile, inquietante. C'è solo una persona che le dà credito: Nolan, un compagno di liceo che condivide la sua passione per la fotografa ed è disposto ad affiancarla per studiare i vecchi casi di cronaca nel tentativo di capire cosa stia davvero succedendo. La tensione sale inarrestabile e Sunshine capirà che sua madre è in pericolo e ciò che credeva di sapere del proprio passato è tutto da riscrivere.

Having passed her test in Book One, Sunshine’s Luiseach powers are now fully awakened: for months now, Sunshine has felt spirits everywhere: heard voices, felt emotions – intense and sometimes overwhelming. She tries to ignore them, but it is impossible. Hoping to get her powers under control – and hoping for answers to her never-ending questions – she agrees to undergo training with her Luiseach mentor, even though she still hopes to give up her powers someday. She and her mentor clash left and right; he doesn’t understand or approve of her attachment to the humans in her life; and she can’t understand how he could give her up so many years ago, only to endanger her mother’s life as part of a test. Sunshine’s training is every bit as terrifying and creepy as her test was, and along the way she meets and befriends another young Luiseach, forcing her to confront her feelings for Nolan. Though her mentor is reluctant to answer her many questions, she finally learns more about her lineage, as well as the rift that threatens the future of Luiseach and the human race... and the crucial part she has to play in repairing it.

The Haunting of Sunshine Girl- in active development for television by The Weinstein Company- a hit paranomal YA series based on the wildly popular YouTube channel about an adorkable teenager living in a haunted house.
