Myrtle Stormwhisper is certain of one thing: she has given up magic for good. But when a knock at the door calls for her to pick up her wand again, she doesn't know if she can. It's been so long since Myrtle has cast a spell – what if she’s forgotten how?
Some very strange characters live in Anderson House, retirement home for witches, and one of them is the magnificent Myrtle Stormwhisper. Join Myrtle as she learns how to find her magic again – all with the help of her witchy friends, of course.
So, grab your broom and get ready for an adventure like no other, because things do go bump in the night – and they live at Anderson House! The first book in a beautiful new series, created by the enchanting illustrator Jennie Poh, and written by the fantastically talented Dave Lowe.
"Skillful worldbuilding is enriched by chaotically cluttered, whimsically detailed illustrations, including a map of the delightfully witchy town, Anderson House floor plans, and portraits of each retired witch, depicted with various skin tones, and their quirky familiars. Themes of building (and rebuilding) self-confidence ring true in this laugh-out-loud early chapter book roller coaster by Poh (Where Did TJ Go?) and Lowe (Rocket), who assert that one is never too young—or too old—to bask in the wonders of friendship and new experiences." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
