What is The Notwitches about?

Melanda Notwitch is trapped living with her three horrible aunts, who treat her like a servant and make every day miserable. Her only escape is writing stories in secret. Then Mitch, a young witch with a sort-of-talking cat, arrives with a plan: find a magical ingredient and cast a spell to set Melanda free. Their quest leads them through strange encounters, dangerous villains and wonderfully silly adventures. But can the two friends find the ingredient—and make the magic work?
