There’s great excitement at Mirabelle’s school: football star Chrissy Gold is visiting.
The class set about learning some football skills before she arrives, and Mirabelle can’t resist using a bit of magic. It doesn’t turn out as she’d hoped, with some very comic results. When Chrissy does arrive their football match quickly turns into a game of witchball, but a good time is had by all, as even stern Miss Spindlewick accepts.
Mirabelle and Chrissy have a lovely chat at the end too, on where to find real magic: it’s doing what you love. Typically of these characters and this series, a fun, action-packed story delivers a warm, positive message of inclusivity.
