Hetty Honeywort and the Pumpkin Pandemonium

A laugh out loud magical adventure story for young readers, featuring a colourful cast of characters and illustrations throughout. Hetty Honeywort is a little witch who isn't quite like other witches. For a start, she doesn't look much like a witch. Hetty is short, cute, and wears round glasses and dungarees. Oh, and she has a talking chicken as a familiar. She's also not really up to scratch when it comes to magic, especially when she brews up her spells and potions. She always makes a teeny little mistake, and ends up producing rather silly results!. Nevertheless, Hetty is perfectly happy and content living her quiet, boring life in the forest, along with her chicken familiar, Penelope Yellowlegs. In fact, the very LAST thing Hetty wants is an adventure. It's Halloween, Hetty's favourite time of the year! There are spooky decorations, yummy cakes and candies, Trick or Treat, and of course - Pumpkins! But when an evil Scarecrow, Jack O'Lantern, brings all of the pumpkins to life, and tries to take over the kingdom, Hetty and Penelope know they have to help. Joined by their ghostly friends, Edmund, Gregory, and Dastardly Duncan, they all make a cunning plan to stop the naughty pumpkins, before its too late. This amusing chapter book is perfect for young readers aged 7 to 10 years (or any age!). It contains 12 amusing chapters and almost 100 black and white illustrations, making it perfect for newly independent or reluctant readers. It's also perfect for parents to read out loud to younger children and enjoy together as part of a bedtime reading routine.
