Summaries and Reviews
Summary
Elizabeth meets Jennifer who makes her an apprentice witch, but when their attempt at making a flying ointment fails they decide just to be friends.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Elizabeth is an only child, new in town, and the shortest kid in her class. Sheâs also pretty lonely, until she meets Jennifer. Jennifer is...well, different. Sheâs read Macbeth. She never wears jeans or shorts. She never says âpleaseâ or âthank you.â And she says she is a witch.
Itâs not always easy being friends with a witch, but itâs never boring. At first an apprentice and then a journeyman witch, Elizabeth learns to eat raw eggs and how to cast small spells. And she and Jennifer collaborate on cooking up an ointment that will enable them to fly. Thatâs when a marvelous toad, Hilary Ezra, enters their lives. And thatâs when trouble starts to brew.
