Join in the wicked fun with Which Witch? A twisty and outrageously funny gothic adventure full of dangerous spells and magical mishaps. By Eva Ibbotson, with deliciously whimsical black-and-white illustrations by Becka Moor

Arriman has decided to marry. As top dark wizard, his wife must be the wickedest of witches – but which witch will she be? He holds a spell-casting competition to find out.

Hopelessly in love at first sight, Belladonna is determined to win – but there’s one big problem: all her attempts at dark magic go hopelessly wrong. Snake-casting spell? Perfumed flowers. Vampire-summoning? An adorable bat roosting in her hair.

Everything changes when she meets orphaned Terrance and his pet worm, Rover, who appears to be a powerful familiar. As long as he’s nearby, Belladonna’s magic grows dark and devious.

But with scheming enchantress Madame Olympia as a determined rival for the wizard’s hand in marriage, can Belladonna win?
