Synopsis

Winnie the Witch is very pleased with her new computer. She decides to throw away her book of spells and her wand-from now on all her magic will be at the click of a mouse! When Wilbur tries to pounce on the mouse, things start to go wrong. Winnie wakes up to discover she has no cat . . . and
no computer. She could really use a little magic but just where is it going to come from? This is a hilarious Winnie story for the digital age!

'unmissable' Children's Bookseller

'Paul's artwork is as dynamic and arresting as ever. His comic touch is perfectly judged, stretching this simple story within reach of a wide age group' The Guardian
