Next Door Witch

When Natalie and her brother Denny apply for a job to care for a horse near their uncle's horse farm, they discover a starved, filthy and scarred animal.  The horse's nasty owner uses her formidable dark powers to stop Natalie and Denny from uncovering the mystery of this horse's true nature, and liberating it from the witch's control.  The third "Magical Mystery" novel by the author of the hugely popular Unicorns of Balinor series.


"A delightful new series, with a pair of charming but flawed kids who act like real siblings, save that they keep stumbling into genuine magic ... Seasoned with a hint of deeper mysticism, this is fine and lively writing that will appeal to any kid with a taste for the fantastic ... I can't wait to see what else Mary Stanton has up her enchanted sleeve."

- Bruce Coville, author of My Teacher Is an Alien


"Mary Stanton's Magical Mysteries are the stories that every child dreams of but rarely finds. Natalie and Denny have the style, pace and plots to push Goosebumps to the back of the rack."

- Charles Sheffield, creator of Jupiter Line Young Adult Science Fiction Novels
