Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service meets Cressida Cowell in this funny, quirky middle-grade fantasy about Willa, who must unravel a witchy mystery to save her city, her friends and herself.

Willa is just an ordinary non-magical girl, living in the Wild— a city squished between two warring witch covens. She spends her days dodging wayward spells—from raining frogs to dancing chickens—all because of the witch war! No wonder she hates witches.

But one day she's not ordinary at all. She discovers she does, indeed, have magic and she must choose between the two witch covens or she'll explode! Her attempts to control her magic are interrupted by a rogue witch, who begins casting nefarious spells against the Ordinary Folk. What does the witch want and what does it have to do with Willa?
