Pongwiffy
Illustrated by Chris Smedley
A very smelly witch with truly grubby habits, Pongwiffy adores living in her filthy hovel in the middle of the rubbish tip, fighting her sometimes best-friend Sharkadder. When she needs a familiar the only applicant is 'Ugo the 'amster from, of course, Amsterdam. Embarrassing Pongwiffy beyond words, Hugo refuses to hide discreetly in his mistress's hat and quickly becomes the darling of Pongwiffy's coven. The most exuberantly funny book I've read for ages with lots of different voices and bags of action. My Year-4s loved every minute, especially the talent contest.
