Description

Kiki is a trainee witch. On her thirteenth birthday she must follow tradition and leave home to find a new village. She knows she has to use only her powers to make a living, but Kiki's no good at potions or spells...can she use her flying abilities to make her own way in the world? She sets out with her beloved black cat Jiji on an exciting journey, making new friends along the way.

This magical translation of Eiko Kadono's classic tale Kiki's Delivery Service will enchant fans of the beloved Studio Ghibli film (now on Netflix) and new readers alike.
