The Notwitches by Gary Panton

While lots of children have one or two problems, Melanda Notwitch has three: her horrible aunts.

They really are the absolute WORST!  Luckily, Melanda meets Mitch, a young witch who knows of a magic spell that might make everything better. 

All they have to do is find one special ingredient. How hard can it be? 

A big-hearted and funny adventure in the spirit of Roald Dahl, perfect for ages 7–11. Brimming with loathsome villains, unexpected heroes, extraordinary set pieces and an almost-talking cat.

The first in a series, this is Gary Panton’s fiction debut, and is illustrated by talented newcomer, Dotty Sutton.
