Publisher's Synopsis
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.
