What do you get if you take a witch a goat and a cat, and set them afloat on a river to visit London? The answer is in this book. Although I developed these characters for children, the story has some grown up humour.
I like strong female characters and these three can definitely hold their own, even against a thief who tries to steal the crown. Although Hettie doesn’t have much of a brain and she can’t fly a broom very well, her intentions are good. All she want’s is everything, so most of us can relate.
This is one of those books that you can read in a few hours so make your own mystical elixir – perhaps tea, put your feet up and enjoy Hettie Hackwood’s Magical Miracle Potion.
