What is Prison break about?

Melanda Notwitch is determined to rescue her imprisoned parents from the Dark and Horrible and Disgusting Prison for Witches. But reaching the prison means finding a way inside. With her friend Mitch, an unreliable spell and Rolo the almost-talking cat, Melanda plans to get herself arrested. Their mission soon involves witch-hunters, dangerous guards, strange new allies and a gigantic slug. As magical mishaps pile up, the girls must rely on courage, quick thinking and each other to give their family a chance of freedom.
