The Witch Repair
Illustrated by Stephen Cox
If the sign says 'Witch Repair' then beware, for it should say 'Watch Repair' - or should it? It's only Katie's growing acquaintance with Ms Smith in the repair shop that eases the hardship she experiences at being forced into new house, new school, new world. For Ms Smith prompts much thought, if only by her appearance - all twinkly pink one day and parrot bedecked the next. She gives sound advice, unintentionally it seems, and repairs quite remarkably. This is a splendid concoction of adjustment to unwelcome change, amazing magic and real fun. A great class novel or for 8+s to read alone.
