Inhaltsangabe

A fantastically funny concoction

One day, Lizzie Sharp decides to concoct a potion to cast a spell on her family’s only neighbors, the unbearable, ancient Potwards. The very next day, Mrs. Potward breaks her hip and the couple disappear forever. It could be just a coincidence, but Lizzie is convinced of her own magical powers, and the temptation to involve both her younger brothers in her ambitious spellmaking plans is irresistible. As one potion leads to another, all three Sharp children become ridiculously entangled in a web of secrets, conspiracies, and misunderstandings.

Readers will love being part of the hilarious magic at work in Tim Kennemore’s spellbinding new novel.

From Circle of Doom

Lizzie had hastily revised her career plans as a result of recent events. Witchcraft was definitely the correct option. People were always telling her that actresses were continually out of work, resting between jobs, starving and penniless. As a witch, however, she would be self-employed and independent. She would be a GOOD witch, only ever harming those who truly deserved it. The rest of the time she would make love potions and wealth and health and happiness potions and generally provide people with all the things they wanted to have. She would of course charge them a great deal of money for this, because her spells would be of the very highest quality and she would be famous. A celebrity witch. She would have her own TV show called The Witching Hour, publish books of easy spells for beginners, and market her own line of shiny copper cauldrons. She would open a chain of shops called Spell Shack (or Lizzie’s Kitchen) where people could buy almost any part of a toad’s body (fresh or pickled, whole or pulverized), a dozen different varieties of eyeball, and vials clear and transparent in a full range of handy sizes.
