Magical mayhem and hilarity ensue when a clever little witch tries to turn her baby brother into a goldfish in this funny and imaginative picture book about sibling rivalry.
Little Linh is the cleverest little witch on Mi Mi island. She has everything she could need: a trusty broomstick, a powerful spell book, and a magical pet mouse. She also has a new brother named Baby Phu, and she does not like him one bit. He crashes her broomstick, eats pages out of her spell book, and keeps her up all night. Little Linh tried giving Baby Phu away, but nobody will take him, not even the Orphanage for Lost and Magical Creatures.
So, shell just have to try something elselike turning him into a goldfish. The only problem is, Baby Phu ate the second half of the spell. Still, theres a reason Little Linh is the cleverest little witch. She can guess the second half of the spellbut it might take a few tries.
"A charming take on sibling conflict." * Kirkus *
