In \u003cem\u003eWitch for a Week\u003c\/em\u003e, Elsie offers to house-sit the mysterious home of local witch Magenta Sharp with no idea what she is getting into. Left with a talking raven, a scruffy dog, a magical tower with a mind of its own and a book called Everything You Need to Know, Elsie quickly finds that house-sitting is far trickier than she thought. In \u003cem\u003eWish for a Witch\u003c\/em\u003e, Elsie is home again and finding normal life a little dull, until Magenta needs help with her mail-order magic service, Sharp Spells on Tap. Mischief and marvellous magic soon transform Elsie's world, including a memorable trip to a magical superstore. In \u003cem\u003eWitches (Un)Welcome\u003c\/em\u003e, it is summertime in Smallbridge and, as ever, nothing stays quiet for long as fresh chaos and cheeky magic keep Elsie on her toes. Together the stories brim with memorable characters, fun and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree complete Elsie Pickles paperback stories in one great-value collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunny, magical adventures written by the bestselling creator of Pongwiffy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for confident young readers aged 7-9 building reading stamina.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm, humorous storytelling ideal for reading aloud and sharing at bedtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA charming, characterful gift for fans of witches, magic and mischief.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKaye Umansky was born in Plymouth in 1946 and grew up as an only child and a big reader.
