Poor Joe is an unwilling accomplice to the witch's illicit 'shopping' spree. Using one of her nefarious spells she steals all that appeals to her. Things go from bad to worse and disaster seems to face Joe. The witch herself resolves the situation as, through her own carelessness, she mistakenly sends everything to its rightful home - including Joe, who's very glad to get there! It's a good yarn, but the resulting discussions on morality are what really give the book a right to a place on the classroom shelves.
