Everyday Magic introduces Alfie Blackstack, a boy whose parents have met an unfortunate end and who now lives in the cobwebby gloom of Switherbroom Hall with his aunts Gertie and Zita. The aunts turn out to be far more than the odd local chemists they appear to be: they are witches who travel by flying vacuum cleaner, and Alfie’s world expands rapidly once he understands what he has stumbled into.

When the Fagan Family Circus arrives in town, Alfie makes his first real friend in the fearless Calypso Fagan. But the friendship is tested when Calypso’s sister Nova goes missing, drawing the two children into a confrontation with the Head Witch and her terrifying assistant. Jess Kidd packs the story with familiars, imps, and ghosts while keeping the emotional core firmly on what it means to find your people.
