Synopsis

A bewitching tale showcasing the timeless lesson that a good deed always triumphs over a bad one, even at Miss Mildred Mildew's School of Magic!    

Whatever you chant,
Whatever you brew,     
Sooner or later     
Comes back to you!

Alice and Greta attended the same school of magic, but they each have their own ideas about how to put their skills to the best use. Alice spends her days waving her wand to cast splendid spells. Greta only uses hers to stir up trouble. When their wands and witching styles clash, it turns out Greta should have paid more attention to those early magic lessons. An enchanting tale of two very different fates.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Once, a long time ago, two witches lived on top of a mountain. Although they both looked out at the same view, they saw things differently. 

Alice's outlook, like her clothes, was always rose. Greta, on the other hand, was always on the lookout for trouble. She dressed in poison green—a color she liked to think was as putrid as her personality. 

Oh, how different Alice and Greta were!
