Lenora's Grimoire by Falling-Rivers

(Former title: Book of Rosethorns) Cherish thought she'd escaped her past years ago--settled down in some forgotten, sleepy town, gotten a steady job at the local library, and subtly hidden the witchcraft books donated from the local covens from the public. Cherish Harmond was wrong. Her cedar tree had screamed at her before dying on her front lawn that morning. Cherish hadn't even realized trees could scream. Faced with the desperate plea for help from a stranger, the past she thought she had successfully outrun has returned, and she must come to terms with it, to use her powers for good--because if she doesn't, she might unleash a curse onto her sleepy, normal hometown forever. **Submission for ONC 2021

With a family curse that's getting harder to hide by the day, Willow finds herself caught between family and friendship.

Of Fairies and Noontime by CreativeKingdom

Hadley Marble is a curious, unladylike, and stubborn 12-year-old girl who loves exploring... and breaking the rules. One day, after climbing the oak tree in her backyard, she breaks the rules unintentionally and finds herself sucked into a portal in the tree's bark and taken to a world where fairies exist - and humans are treated like monsters. Hadley is worried that she may have gone too far this time - that is, until she meets a kindhearted fairy named Ellabelle who introduces Hadley to her friends and the fairy world. Hadley forgets all about getting home by noon and becomes invested in the ultimate game of make believe. She doesn't realize, however, she is an unwelcome visitor, and there are many dark secrets that lie beneath the glittering surface of Ofan Village. *** Note: This is a story that I may come back to edit from time to time. I wrote it a few years ago, but I wanted to share it. :)

DOGWOOD ✔︎ by elle-blair

Thirteen-year-old Ginna's only connection to her long-dead mother is the dogwood in her backyard. The tree radiates a warm sort of buzz which might possibly be magic. Or is it a trick of her imagination? That's the agonizing question that earned her the label, "weirdo who talks to trees." And it's the reason Ginna is struggling with her plan to make one real friend. After an embarrassing attempt ends with Ginna kicking a soccer ball at a classmate's face, she retreats to the comfort of her tree-shaped companion to ask for help-and something strange happens. Ginna goes from mostly ignored to ridiculously popular overnight, and she's having conversations with someone or some thing inside her head. The source, an opinionated tree spirit named Dogwood, claims she accidentally stepped into Ginna's body. But now that the spirit has access to Ginna's thoughts and memories, she's in no hurry to go back where she belongs. Until Ginna figures out that Dogwood is hiding information about her mom. Now it's Ginna who doesn't want to let go. She has so many questions-but there's no time to wait for the stubborn spirit to answer. Ginna's body is becoming dangerously depleted and can no longer sustain Dogwood's energy. She'll have to find the courage to stand on her own before possession burnout destroys them both.
