The Witches of Anderson House: A Spell for Disaster: Myrtle Stormwhisper and the Forgotten Spell

Ages 5 to 7, Grades K to 2

Myrtle Stormwhisper is certain of one thing: tonight is the perfect night for a bit of magic! But it’s been so long since Myrtle has cast a spell—what if she’s forgotten how?!

Some very strange characters live in Anderson House, retirement home for witches, and one of them is the magnificent Myrtle Stormwhisper. Join Myrtle as she learns how to find her magic again—all with the help of her witchy friends, of course.

So, grab your broom and get ready for an adventure like no other, because things do go bump in the night—and they live at Anderson House! The first book in a beautiful new series by tremendously talented author-illustrator Jennie Poh.
