Witch in the Country (Crimson Twill #2)

by Kallie George (Author) Birgitta Sif (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Crimson Twill

Little witch Crimson wants her friends to have fun on their first visit to the country--but everything goes wrong!

In a second punny adventure, the delightful series continues with plenty of spells and humor. Crimson Twill's new friends from New Wart City, Mauve and Wesley, are coming for a visit! But as soon as they arrive at Crimson's house in Cackle County, things start to go wrong. At the rotten apple orchard, Crimson's ripening spell goes horribly awry (what will they do with all that rotten applesauce?). Then, at the broom-straw field, Wesley cuts too much straw and starts to float away. And when the friends try to collect frogs' breath for their spells (it makes everything wonderfully green and warty), Mauve gets a stinky faceful of it! What on earth is going on?

The whole countryside feels like something big is about to happen, and Crimson wonders if it has something to do with Granny Twill and that giant cauldron of stew she made. Can Crimson get to the bottom of this bad-luck mystery? And, more importantly, will her city friends ever want to visit her again?
