About This Book

A young boy and his Norwegian grandmother know the truth about witches — they're real, they despise children, and they look like ordinary women. When the boy stumbles upon the annual meeting of all the witches in England at a seaside hotel, he's turned into a mouse but hatches a plan to turn the tables.
