What is Witch for a week about?
When Elsie Pickles agrees to look after the home of the mysterious witch Magenta Sharp, she expects a quiet week. Instead, she finds a talking raven, a scruffy dog, a tower with a mind of its own and a magical guidebook full of surprises. With strange neighbours arriving and a box of volatile ingredients needing attention, Elsie must learn fast. Can she manage the house, solve its magical problems and survive a week as a witch without causing a disaster?
