Imagine if you read your teacher's diary... and discovered she was a witch!

With courage, imagination and a certain amount of recklessness, Zelda Stitch begins her first year of teaching primary school - as an incompetent (incognito) witch. Can she keep her magic from escaping in class, or will the scary vice principal catch her in the act?

Keeping her magic secret isn't the only trouble bubbling in Ms Stitch's classroom: there's wild-child Zinnia, lonely Eleanor, secretive Phoebe and a hairy, eight-legged visitor called Jeremy. Not to mention the nits...

With NO HELP AT ALL from her disagreeable cat Barnaby, Zelda must learn to be a better teacher, a better friend and a better witch - even if that means taking broomstick lessons.

Zelda's adventures are a rollicking read for ages 7 to 11... and beyond!
