This is the story of a young girl who has been studying to be a witch. During an assessment, the machine that test a witch’s ability blows up, so she is sent to a small town as only a apprentice witch to help the town with an infestation of supernatural creatures. Along the way she becomes friends with some of the people of the town. The mayor’s niece, who is supposed to be a full fledged witch, comes to town to “help” but is not a very good witch. This is a story that proves that not everything is as it seems in the beginning and someone who thinks they’re less able to do something, are proved to be better then someone who thinks they can do no wrong.
