Synopses

Witch for a Week

Elsie Pickles agrees to house-sit the mysterious home of local witch Magenta Sharp and quickly realises it is anything but ordinary. With a talking raven, a scruffy dog, a tower with a mind of its own and an instruction book called Everything You Need to Know, she is soon put to the test.

As strange neighbours appear and a box of volatile magical ingredients needs using straight away, Elsie must find out whether she can handle the responsibility for a week.

Witch in Winter

Magenta Sharp vanishes from her magical tower in Crookfinger forest, and nobody knows how to find her. With a mysterious stranger taking an interest in the empty tower and an unexpected snowstorm causing chaos, Elsie and her friends need to track Magenta down quickly.

Elsie’s new witchy skills may be needed, but it is unclear whether Magenta can be found in time.
