Humbug - Hardcover
Synopsis
When Cora discovers that she is to be the unwilling guest of her too-perfect neighbour, Angelica, she is horrified. But Ma Potter, Angelica's grandmother - who has to suffer Angelica's gruesome practical jokes - proves to be an unlikely ally. They share a love of books and special "humbug" magic.
