Enchanted Misadventures with Great-Aunt Poppy: Magic, Mayhem, and Monsters - by Hallie Christensen (Paperback)

About the Book

A typical December for the Alexanders consists of gingerbread baking, movies, and looking at Christmas lights, but after their parents are called in to work, Ava, Nolan, and Charlotte are sent to stay with their most feared relative for a week-Great-Aunt Poppy. Have mom and dad gone mad? Of course, the children are terrified. Who wouldn't be? No one believes them when they say that Poppy-or Groppy as they call her-is a witch. If the haunted house isn't bad enough, there are thousands of crazy cats, chaotic and deadly spells, and even worse-frightening howls from the woods that grow louder and closer every second. Something deadly lurks outside. Staying alive while living with Groppy for an entire week is-well-impossible! In order to survive the holiday, it will take all the bravery and wit the kids can muster. But who knows? Things aren't always what they seem! The best holiday surprise this Christmas might be hiding in the most unlikely place imagined!

Book Synopsis

The Alexander children are horrified that their normal holiday plans are altered when their parents are called to work, and the kids have to stay with their most feared relative, Groppy (Great Aunt Poppy). There is something strange and creepy about her house and the kids swear she is a witch. But the mood quickly changes from fear to intrigue when the siblings stumble upon Groppy's magic cauldron and wish-granting potion. Ava, Nolan, and Charlotte Alexander create instant chaos when spells get out of hand and only Groppy can save them. They might just survive this holiday visit after all, but something chilling hides deep in the woods and not even Groppy's magic can stop it. The three siblings must use quick-wit and bravery to help Groppy capture a terrifying werewolf and, preferably, not get eaten.
