"A funny introduction to the magic arts." — Kirkus Reviews

Can you keep a secret? Pandora’s granny is a witch! She causes magical mayhem wherever she goes. In these stories, she brings comic chaos to a televised baking competition, delightful disaster to a school fair, and tons of trouble to a stately home! But she makes everything right in the end, with a bit of help from Pandora. Everyone loves Granny, especially her long-suffering granddaughter!
Light doses of innocent sorcery, a loving relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter, and some occasional British slang ("tickity-boo") add up to a funny introduction to the magic arts. This accessible series should lead young readers to the groaning shelves of middle-grade fantasy that await.
