Witch in Training

Description

Think that being a witch is all about pointy hats, waving wands and gathering around the cauldron singing spooky songs? Well, think again. Betty's potion-making starts tonight! And potions need ingredients - ingredients that can only be found in the WILD. And that is pretty treacherous. So, brave Betty, with her mum by her side, is about to come face-to-face with werewolves, trolls, sea monsters and more... A funny, edge-of-your-broomstick adventure from the spellbinding team behind Tooth Fairy in Training.
