Who will be the next Princess of Crabapple Valley? Miggin is sweet but clueless. Druzilla is brave, brilliant, arrogant and nasty. Will they really Influence each other, as the queen hopes, or will they tear each other and the kingdom apart? The potential princesses slug it out with magic and mud as the servants rampage, monsters run amok, and the very castle trembles. The Witches of Castle Crabapple is a light, comic fantasy and the first in a new series, suitable for middle grades and up. Fans of Patricia C. Wrede's 'Calling on Dragons' series, Eva Ibbotson's children's books, and the Harry Potter series should enjoy a visit to Crabapple Valley, where the witches wreak havoc, magic is only a rhyme away, and the swineherds are all certain to marry princesses.
