The Green-Fingered Witch

A funny rhyming story from an exciting new author and illustrator team. Perfect for Halloween!

When Cress starts Witch School, she soon finds out she’s not like the other pupils. Her clothes are wrong, and she can’t fly a broom or make potions. In fact, the only witchy thing about Cress is her green fingers. But, when there are no pumpkins for the school Halloween party, it’s Cress’s turn to show off her own magic and be top of the class!

A fun rhyming story about finding your strengths, showing that there’s a little bit of magic in everyone!
