Description
Meet Mabel - she's MAGNIFICENT.
Sometimes life isn't fair for Mabel Chase. For instance, she isn't allowed to go Trick or Treating on HALLOWEEN because she has to visit a relative. And even though there's a monster living under her bed, her parents STILL won't let her have a brand-new high-up bunk bed which wouldn't have ANY hiding spots for monsters. At school, NO-ONE takes her seriously when she spots aliens in the playground.
But none of that matters in the end ... because Mabel is still MAGNIFICENT.
The fifth book in the hilarious series, Magnificent Mabel and the Very Important Witch is highly illustrated throughout and contains three short stories - ideal for newly-confident readers.
