For the benefit of those who have yet to encounter her, Pongwiffy is a smelly, slovenly witch with no heart of gold to redeem her faults.
In Witchway Wood, bad habits have become, well, a habit. Overindulging in sweets and watching too much spellovision mean the witches, trolls and Familiars have toothache, tummy ache and all sorts of other aches and pains.
They desperately need a plan of action to drag them back to health so, although it goes against all her instincts, Pongwiffy volunteers to organise an event involving fair play, fitness and sportsmanship: the O'Lumpick Games.
A hilarious, ridiculous and totally enthralling romp with an irresistible cast of characters. Entertaining, well plotted and beautifully written.
