Eva Ibbotson: Which Witch?, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Find me a witch!' cried Arriman the Awful, feared Wizard of the North.

Arriman has decided to marry. As top dark wizard, his wife must be the wickedest of witches - but which witch will she be? He holds a spell-casting competition to find out.

Hopelessly in love at first sight, Belladonna is determined to win - but there's one big problem: all her attempts at dark magic go hopelessly wrong. Snake-casting spell? Perfumed flowers. Vampire-summoning? An adorable bat roosting in her hair.

Everything changes when she meets orphaned Terrance and his pet worm, Rover, who appears to be a powerful familiar. As long as he's nearby, Belladonna's magic grows dark and devious.

But with scheming enchantress Madame Olympia as a determined rival for the wizard's hand in marriage, can Belladonna win?
