What is The Witch's Children and the Queen about?

The witch’s children set off with their friend Gemma to visit the Queen, but their spells soon cause magical mayhem. They turn Gemma into a goose, transform the Number 16 bus into a flying carpet and send its passengers soaring towards the palace. When the Queen’s soldiers become caught up in the chaos, the children must try to undo their muddled magic. With everything getting more ridiculous by the minute, only their clever witch mother can restore order.
