Not every orphan would love living at St. Morwald's Home for
Children, but Earwig does. She gets whatever she wants, whenever
she wants it, and it's been that way since she was dropped on the
orphanage doorstep as a baby. But all that changes the day Bella
Yaga and the Mandrake come to St. Morwald's, disguised as foster
parents. Earwig is whisked off to their mysterious house full of
invisible rooms, potions, and spell books, with magic around every
corner. Most children would run in terror from a house like that .
. . but not Earwig. Using her own cleverness--with a lot of help
from a talking cat--she decides to show the witch who's boss.
