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?
