Clover Twig And The Incredible Flying Cottage (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Clover answers a want add to work for a witch and ends up with an adventure. Clover is sensible and hardworking, and when she encounters Mrs. Eckles she wins her over and starts to clean her unusual home. She meets Neville, the witch's cat, and Wilf, an errand boy with no coordination. When Mrs. Eckles goes to the fair, her evil sister, Mesmeranza, takes that opportunity to steal her cottage. Now, Clover must use all of her cunning to get the cottage back. This is a fun, quick story with pictures in nearly every chapter. Many readers will come to like Clover and even Mrs Eckles. Another adventure follows so readers will be able to get more Clover. This would be a good book for readers not quite ready for The Sisters Grimm, or for fans of The Witch Family. This was a sweet little book set in that time and place where there are witches who live alone in a cottage in the woods and once a year they go off to the fair to peddle their wares. This year Clover (a village girl with too many siblings for her parents to feed) stays with the cottage when the witch goes away. Unfortunately the witch's evil sister comes to get the cottage, and mayhem ensues.A familiar and fun setting and great characters (with some line drawings as well) make this book a humorous treat for those who like fairy tales.
