Reviews

While little witch Alice uses her powers for good, Greta has yet to learn "the brewmerang principle": that whatever you brew comes back to you. Ages 4-8. (July)

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!
