Extract
A thin, bony hand grabbed Melanda Notwitch’s writing paper, scrunched it up into a crinkly ball, and thrust it towards a set of brown, rotting teeth. These were the teeth of Aunt Claggy, and they were teeth that were well used to the practice of
munching down stationery. Pens, pencils, rulers – Aunt Claggy had munched themall in her time.
Once, in the dead of night, Melanda had even seen her hunched over the kitchen table nibbling on a roll of sticky tape.
About the book
Melanda’s monstrous aunts, The Notwitches, treat her more like a servant than a niece.
Her life seems hopeless until an older girl, Mitch, knocks at her door offering the chance of freedom.
Mitch knows a thing or two about magic and for this special spell, all they need is one magical ingredient . . .
- A big-hearted and funny adventure in the spirit of Roald Dahl, perfect for ages 7–11.
- Brimming with loathsome villains, unexpected heroes, extraordinary set pieces and an almost-talking cat.
- The first in a series, this is Gary Panton’s fiction debut, and is illustrated by talented newcomer, Dotty Sutton.
