About the book
The Flying Start (Thistle and Goose)
Thistle is a cat hedge witch who lives a gentle, quiet life at the edge of the forest. She enjoys the routine of caring for her garden, making berry jam, and practicing her magic.
Goose is, well, a Canada goose. Like most geese, he loves making friends, having adventures, and honking! (So much honking.) When he accidentally crash-lands in Thistle’s garden, it is anything but gentle and quiet. It is chaos!
Thistle’s world is turned upside down by her unexpected roommate. But sometimes the best of friends meet in the most unexpected ways.
