Michelle Turner | 6 comments I remember reading this in the mid 90's. It was about three girls, and one was called Selena. Selena's mother was a witch. If i remember rightly the third of the girls was new and Selena initiated her by telling her to take her clothes off and stand in the garden after proclaiming herself to be the 'queen' because she found a bean in her cake. A lot was made about Selena's hair also, as it was glossy and black and she had some sort of tiara that stood out. I remember it being a really good story but it was so long ago. It's bugging me so much. I tried Googling and searching on here and amazon

Michelle, what is the story's time period and location?

I added a few details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Michelle Turner | 6 comments I woke up this morning and remembered the title. It's called the Power of the Shade by Jacqueline Wilson. It was bugging me for days!
