INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Umansky, Kaye

Clover Twig and the Magical Cottage

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Johanna Wright. In this lighthearted fantasy, witch sisters Mrs. Eckles and Mesmeranza have a long-standing feud over property rights. Mesmeranza appears invincible, but Mrs. Eckles has two secret weapons--Neville, an extremely nasty cat; and our hero, Clover, a sensible and tidy ten-year-old cook and cleaning lady. A rambunctious plot, lashings of corny and delightful wordplay, and an original supporting cast contribute to the fun.
