Circle of Three

Circle of Three is a young adult series by Isobel Bird about three teenage girls--Kate, Annie, and Cooper--who come together after Kate finds a book of spells in the school library and casts a love spell that has disastrous results.

Fantastical-sounding description aside, the series is actually about the girls' lives as they study Wicca, and presents it all (mostly) realistically.

There are 15 books in the series:

• So Mote It Be
• Merry Meet
• Second Sight
• What the Cards Said
• In the Dreaming
• Ring of Light
• Blue Moon
• The Five Paths
• Through the Veil
• Making the Saint
• The House of Winter
• Written in the Stars
• And It Harm None
• The Challenge Box
• Initiation

Tropes used in Circle of Three include:

• Deadpan Snarker^[context?]
• Girl Posse: The Graces^[context?]
• Magic Misfire: Starts the whole thing off.^[context?]
