Rumblewick's Diary My Unwilling Witch Sleeps Over by Hiawyn Oram

This is the second book in this series that I have read, and it's great, too!

Rumblewick is the witch's familiar, a cat, who is working very hard to make his witch be a WITCH, not a nice little girl. She strays to the other side way too often and mingles with people, which is real no no in witch land!

He spends most of his time trying to cover for her and salvage what he can out of the messes she gets in.

The book is filled with puns, odd witches and familiars, and normal little girls who have no idea just what Haggy Aggy is.

Haggy Aggy wants to go to the jim (gym) and learn gymnastics. If that wasn't bad enough, then she gets invited to sleep over. Oh my...

Little girls will find this book delightful and there are lots of illustrations and side stories going on to hold their attention.

Rumblewick's Diary is one of a kind!

Rumblewick's Diary My Unwilling Witch Goes to Ballet School by Hiawyn Oram

Poor Rumblewick. He's the familiar of a witch in training, and he has responsibilities. It's his job to keep her on the right track and guide her in the ways of witches, but she doesn't want to be a witch!

She likes to wear pink, a flower in her hair, loves to shop in our world (the other side), and now she's decided she wants to dance ballet. What a disaster!

Then the top hags find out that she's learning ballet and give him an ultimatum - he has to stop this silly idea of ballet and get her to really practicing to be a witch or they'll send him back to familiars school.

He's not successful at stopping Haggy Aggy, but he's a great spin doctor and makes the most of the moment.

Watching him trying to stop her from doing things that make her unwitchy is part of the fun!

There will be another in this series coming out soon: My Unwilling Witch Sleeps Over. I bet Rumblewick has trouble in that one, too!

Nicely illustrated and full of fun facts about witches and with absolutely awful spells, what young one wouldn't like to read this book?
