When an odd woman who loves animals moves in next door to Nora and Tad, they are curious. This woman, Maggie, makes amazing fudge, and soon the kids find out that its magical. They find themselves caught up in some dangerous magic when they discover that eating one too many pieces has some serious consequences. The kids must decide if Maggie is a good witch or a bad witch.
This re-release
is fantastic. Although there is much love for Ruth Chews own illustrations, I
am so glad they updated the cover art. I loved these books when I was a child
and they still read very modern. I like that the brother and sister work as a
team, are creative, and brave. I think students will love this book! I hope
they are re-releasing more in this new format, because students will be asking
for more.
