More About This Book

Overview

When the sensible, reliable and always tidy Clover Twig goes to work for a messy witch, she discovers that the witch's cottage has quite a few secrets hiding inside of it!

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 3–5—Taking a job cleaning for a rather spectacularly messy witch is the start of the biggest adventure in 11-year-old Clover Twig's life. Tidy and reliable, the child quickly puts Mrs. Eckles's cottage in order—despite the unintentional interference of the witch's accident-prone neighbor, Wilf. Clover knows there is something magical and special about the cottage, but she doesn't learn what it is until after Mrs. Eckles leaves to sell her remedies. During her absence, Clover and Wilf have their hands full trying to keep the magical cottage out of the clutches of the witch's greedy and jealous sister. All in all, this is an entertaining read with enough humor and action to keep the story moving. Clover is a plucky and capable protagonist, little fazed by the magical goings-on around her. Pen-and-ink illustrations are interspersed throughout, adding more life to several scenes. Fans of Roald Dahl or Eva Ibbotson may enjoy discovering the secret of the magical cottage along with Clover.—Amanda Raklovits, Champaign Public Library, IL

From The Critics
A stalwart young girl discovers the secrets of a benign witch's bungalow in this charming middle-grade fantasy. When intrepid 11-year-old Clover Twig goes to work for local witch Mrs. Eckles, she has no idea she's inadvertently placed herself in the middle of an age-old feud. Mrs. Eckles's slinky evil sister Mesmeranza has been trying for years to steal Mrs. Eckles's cottage. The shabby shack has the ability to fly, a power both witches covet. While Mrs. Eckles is away, Mesmeranza finally manages to filch it on Clover's watch. But practical Clover promptly outwits Mesmeranza and her inept castle servants with the help of her accident-prone buddy Wilf and Neville the smelly black cat, piloting the cottage safely home before Mrs. Eckles's return. While there are countless clever-girl stories in today's kid lit, British author Umansky's giggle-worthy characterizations and dialogue make this winsome read-aloud stand out from the pack. The fractured-fairy-tale elements will also appeal to independently reading fans of Eva Ibbotson's Which Witch (2000) and Jean Ferris's Once Upon a Marigold (2002). (Fantasy. 9-12)

Meet the Author

Kaye Umansky is the author of over 130 books for young readers. She lives in London with a nice husband (Mo) a nice daughter (Ella) and two crazy cats called Heathcliff and Jeremy. When asked about her inspiration for Clover Twig, she said: "I am really scared of heights, ever since getting stuck up a cliff as a kid. I can't even do step-ladders. But, funnily enough, I'd love to be able to fly! That would be my chosen super-power. When I was small, we used to go on long country walks, and the only way I could drag my aching little legs up the endless hills was to imagine that there was a flying carpet/horse with wings/wizard in an air balloon waiting for me around the next corner. I know I would be scared rigid in a flying cottage in real life, so I let my characters do it, which is the next best thing. Although even writing about it makes me feel air-sick!"
