Written by Kallie George, Illustrated by Birgitta Sif
As Crimson Twill readies her Cackle County home for a visit from her New Wart City friends, she thinks about all the fun things she wants to do and show her friends. What could go wrong? Before Mauve, Wesley, and Dusty arrive, Granny Twill drops off a giant pot of stew and has a message that she just can’t seem to get out. As Crimson and her friends set off on their adventures things take a turn for the unexpected: exploding rotten apples, extra strong frog’s breath, uncontrollable broom field…the largest problem they encounter has to do with Granny Twill’s undelivered message. Will the unexpected adventures end friendships, or make them stronger? Kallie George’s early chapter book delivers a fun story about a quirky witch and her friends, while Birgitta Sif’s black and white illustrations help readers feel like they are right there with Crimson on her adventures.
