Boszorkányok
Az IGAZI BOSZORKÁNYOK hétköznapi ruhát hordanak, és szakasztott úgy néznek ki, mint a hétköznapi nők. Hétköznapi házakban élnek, és RENDES ÁLLÁSUK van. Ezért is olyan nehéz őket nyakon csípni.

Egy IGAZI BOSZORKÁNY folyton-folyvást terveket sző, hogy megszabaduljon a felségterületén lakó gyerekektől. Az a szenvedély élteti, hogy egymás után sorra elbánjon velük. Egész álló nap csak ezen jár az esze. Ez a könyv nem mese. Ez a könyv IGAZI BOSZORKÁNYokról szól, akik a legveszélyesebb élőlények a föld kerekén.

Pedig akkor még nem is sejti, milyen veszedelmes kalandba keveredik a fiú hamarosan, amikor egy szállodában váratlanul az angliai Boszorkányok Titkos Társaságának éves ülésén találja magát...
