First in a new, highly illustrated chapter book series for ages 5-7, this book is set in Miracula and features Ivy, an unstoppable and lovable young witch, and her friend and familiar Tom.
Ivy's parents, the King and Queen of the Sand Witches, have prepared her a show-stopping birthday present - a magic act where they disappear! But hold on, they really have disappeared! Foul work is at play, and to rescue Ivy's parents, she and Tom must travel all over Miracula on broomsticks and flying carpets, making friends along the way, and pulling together to defeat Clawdelia Thorn, evil Queen of Grotland.
