A fantastically funny concoction

One day, Lizzie Sharp decides to concoct a potion to cast a spell on her family’s only neighbors, the unbearable, ancient Potwards. The very next day, Mrs. Potward breaks her hip and the couple disappear forever. It could be just a coincidence, but Lizzie is convinced of her own magical powers, and the temptation to involve both her younger brothers in her ambitious spellmaking plans is irresistible. As one potion leads to another, all three Sharp children become ridiculously entangled in a web of secrets, conspiracies, and misunderstandings.

Readers will love being part of the hilarious magic at work in Tim Kennemore’s spellbinding new novel.

Industry Reviews

"Kennemore's writing style is vivid and visual, showing great flair and intelligence...The dynamics within this amusing family will surely make children wish the could become part of the rollicking good fun." --"School Library Journal"
"Zaniness prevails in this funny British family story . . . The tart sense of humor, the unexpected (but logical) plot developments, and the likably unconventional characters place this squarely on the shelf next to Hilary McKay's family
novels." --Starred, "The Horn Book" "Hysterically funny events, suspicions, points of view, and word choice ensure that humor dominates as more potions are concocted and results suffered, though tenderness and vulnerability lurk underneath. The siblings' delicious sneakiness causes ever-shifting alliances within the family, narrated brilliantly from all three perspectives . . . A wickedly funny romp." --"Kirkus Reviews"
