A word from Lou Kuenzler
My new witch character Bella Broomstick is a bit of a disaster with a wand …
Bella Broomstick’s Worst Spell Mistakes:
Vanishing Spell: Only her bottom half disappeared but it was missing for a whole week.
Turn Yourself Into A Toad: The spell back-fired and hit Bella’s horrible Aunt Hemlock instead. She was hopping mad (and bright green with webbed feet)!
Turn Your Shoelace Into A Worm (Note: this is a very easy spell for beginners): … Whoops! Bella made a spitting cobra instead.
Wart Potion: Bella was trying to grow a nice wobbly wart on the end of her nose (all proper witches have these). Unfortunately, she mumbled her chant while she was stirring the cauldron. Instead of a Wart Potion she made a Short Potion … and shrunk to the size of a spider!
Levitation: Bella managed to get up in the air. But then got stuck on the ceiling with the bats. She had to hang upside down until nightfall.
The Most Magical Things Bella Has Discovered Since Coming To Live In The Person World
- Flushing toilets (no more stinging nettle patch. Phew!).
- Escalators (she’s still not sure how stairs can move without a spell on them).
- Bubble bath (so much nicer than squelchy swamp mud).
- Television (the strangest enchantment Bella has ever seen).
- Ice cream (now that really is magic!).

Bella sure sounds like a character, right? The book summary says that this delightful new series, full of doodle illustrations and themes of friendship and fitting in, will have young readers bewitched from the very first page! Bella Broomstick is a hopeless witch. So hopeless that nasty Aunt Hemlock is sending her to live in Person World – with the warning that she must never do magic again! But when Bella finds a kitten in trouble, a spell is the only way to rescue it. What is Bella to do? For where there is magic, trouble is never far away!
You can find the book on Amazon and Goodreads.
