Witch's Wishes

This is another fun book from Vivian Velde. This time Sarah, a girl in kindergarden, is one of the main characters along with her brother Justin and a witch.

The witch has the responsibility of providing the mulled cider for a witch and monster party on Halloween at the senior adult center. Organization isn't a really strong trait for the witch, though, and neither is following the advice of her broom so one thing leads to another and she crashes into a dumpster.

Where she's seen by Sarah who is nice to her. In response, the witch sets it up so Sarah's wishes can be granted for that night.

Which results in her brother being nice to her, a new puppy, a new bathroom, promotion to first grade and Christmas every day.

Which causes the witch to intervene and reverse the spell, which leads to a nasty brother, no dogs at all, no bathroom at all, etc., which leads to another intervention by the witch, etc.

The end result is a comedy of errors. There are no baddies in this story, and everything comes out all right in the end. A delightful read.
