Crimson Twill: Witch in the Spotlight

in ,

Illustrated by Birgitta Sif

Crimson Twill is finally taking wand lessons! But is she just too different from the other little witches to succeed? A magical new adventure in this delightful series.

Crimson Twill is a unique little witch—she likes polka dots, sparkles, and sweet apples instead of rotten ones. And she finally has a real, full-length wand! Now Crimson is off to exciting New Wart City to take wand lessons with her best friends, Mauve and Wesley, and is surprised to discover that their class includes the famous young Broadwart star Miserabella Portentia! Crimson’s friends are starstruck, and for good reason: Miserabella is wickedly good at wand lessons and always seems to be in the spotlight. Meanwhile, when Crimson tries to do things the way Miserabella does, everything turns out miserable—sunbeams instead of rain, donuts instead of burned bagels, and roses instead of thorns. Disaster! But when one of Miserabella’s spells gets out of control, it might be time for Crimson to do things her way. Can Crimson learn to spotlight her full magical potential in a way that’s uniquely her own? The endearing series from Kallie George continues, charmingly illustrated by Birgitta Sif.

Crimson Twill: Witch in the Country

in ,

Illustrated by Birgitta Sif

Crimson Twill’s new friends from New Wart City, Mauve and Wesley, are coming for a visit! But as soon as they arrive at Crimson’s house in Cackle County, things start to go wrong. At the rotten apple orchard, Crimson’s ripening spell goes horribly awry (what will they do with all that rotten applesauce?). Then, at the broom-straw field, Wesley cuts too much straw and starts to float away. And when the friends try to collect frogs’ breath for their spells (it makes everything wonderfully green and warty), Mauve gets a stinky faceful of it! What on earth is going on? The whole countryside feels like something big is about to happen, and Crimson wonders if it has something to do with Granny Twill and that giant cauldron of stew she made. Can Crimson get to the bottom of this bad-luck mystery? And, more importantly, will her city friends ever want to visit her again?

Little witch Crimson wants her friends to have fun on their first visit to the country—but everything goes wrong! In a second punny adventure, the delightful series continues with plenty of spells and humor.

Crimson Twill: Witch in the City

in ,

Illustrated by Birgitta Sif

A little witch with a penchant for bright colors and bows has a surprising big-city shopping adventure in the first book of an illustrated series filled with offbeat charm.

Crimson Twill is a little witch, but you might not know it. She lives in the country and loves polka dots and puppies instead of pointy shoes and black dresses. She even wears a big bow on her hat—which is crimson, just like her name. Tonight, for the very first time, Crimson is riding on her mother’s broom all the way to New Wart City to go shopping at Broomingdale’s! The huge department store has everything a witch could itch for. For Crimson, each floor (hats! cats! brooms!) is a new adventure. But is Broomingdale’s ready for a witch as unique as Crimson? A rich and playful new world comes to life in the first book of this charming series.
