Jill Murphy also wrote and illustrated several award-winning picture books for younger children.

Editorial Reviews

[In this] witch school . . . instead of reading and writing, the students study spell chanting . . . and go broomstick water skiing. Humorous, gently eerie . . . Will appeal to beginning chapter-book readers. For fans of the previous three books and young witch fanciers.
