A laugh-out-loud magical story featuring witches and fun, the first in
a series of three books by Joanne Owen.
Martha Mayhem (real name Martha May) is always causing chaos! She just
can't help it, somehow chaotic things just happen to her. Martha lives
in the small village of Cherry Hillsbottom with her eccentric
grandfather, Professor Gramps and her small pet hog Elvis. Life gets
really exciting though when, on her way to school one day, she discovers
a rather bedraggled-looking witch in a ditch.
Griselda Gritch (the witch) tells a thrilled and alarmed Martha that she
has accidentally let loose a ghastly ghoul that Griselda was trying to
catch - and Martha is going to have to help her to get it back again!
Griselda, though, is a rather grumpy and difficult accomplice. Can
Martha, with the help of Gramps, Elvis and her best friend Jack (AKA
Scrambled Egg Head), retrieve the ghoul and prove herself to Griselda?
A brilliantly funny magical story, full of energy and action!
