When Joe is traveling to stay with his mother and stepfather for Christmas, little does he imagine the excitement and magical intrigue that awaits him when he falls headfirst into an evil plot to rid England of witches. With great bravery and more than a little help from his half sister, Esme, and a new friend, Twiggy, he has to muster all his courage and ingenuity to solve the riddles surrounding him and save his newfound friends. A fabulously detailed and richly exciting adventure story that grips the listener in its magical clutches from the very beginning.

"Now, granted it's been several years since I have read this, I still vividly remember this book. It was my all time favorite. I read it over and over and it never seemed to get old. Luckily it is still kicking around on my bookshelf, I will definitely consider re-reading it for old times sakes. "

" This was a cute story. I liked how the witches seemed like completely ordinary people, with ordinary if somewhat eccentric concerns, but then would seem rather terrible and intimidating at the same time. I thought the story had a very satisfactory ending. "
