Brought to life with charming illustrations by Marc Brown—the celebrated creator of the Arthur books and television show—Little Witch is a delightfully spooky and heartwarming Halloween tale designed for developing readers.

On Halloween night, Little Witch finds herself in a bit of a bind: she is forced to stay home because she's simply been too good! But when three eager trick-or-treaters knock on her door, the evening takes an exciting turn. Instead of handing out candy, Little Witch treats the kids to unforgettable, high-flying broomstick rides across the autumn sky.
