Oh dear! After a travelling spell goes wrong, student witch Gem has found herself miles (and years!) away from her witchcraft school and instead has landed in Ellsworth Pining. Coincidentally, the town has some mysteries to solve and could use a witch’s help. But will sometimes clumsy Gem be able to get the spells right to help her new friends? This first adventure in a delightful new series by Melbourne writer Zobel is sure to charm fans of Polly & Buster and the Worst Witch. ​
