      Clover Twig, an ordinary girl, is housekeeper to a witch in her town. She is eager for this job because she is used to share a room with all her siblings, and never had any money to spare. But life gets turned upside down when the witch's evil twin, Mezmerda, tries to take over the magical cottage. Will clumsy Wilf and ordinary Clover be able to save the flying cottage?
    • 4/5
      Ten-year-old Clover Twig is a practical girl. She knows how to cook and clean and likes things neat and tidy. When she sees a classified ad for a housekeeper, she knows she is the girl for the job, even if it means moving in with the local witch, Demelza. Of course Clover Twig did not anticipate the many downsides to this job. Like the fact that this witch might be the most disorganized woman on the planet, or that a clumsy delivery boy would make her life difficult, or that a feud with Demelza’s evil sister – who has a PLAN – could put her in a lot of danger. This whimsical, exciting story will easily capture readers both young and old with its lighthearted magic and sense of humor. Johannah Wright’s wonderful illustrations are the icing on the cake. For sure, Clover Twig is a character you will not forget.
