Welcome to Benevento, an ancient town famous for its witches!
The children of Benevento have to be careful and clever to evade the

who hide in wells and under bridges, fly at midnight, and play tricks
during Mischief Season.
Five cousins - Primo, Emilio, Rosa, Maria Beppina, and Sergio - share
adventures and narrow escapes, and discover astonishing secrets as they
outwit the witches in each exciting story.
