A winning tale of mischief and magic by the enchanting Jennie Poh and Dave Lowe.

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, a 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 and illustrated by the enchanting illustrator Jennie Poh, and written by the fantastically talented Dave Lowe.
