Little witch Crimson wants her friends to have fun on their first visit to the country—but everything goes wrong! In a second punny adventure, the delightful series continues with plenty of spells and humor.

Crimson Twill’s new friends from New Wart City, Mauve and Wesley, are coming for a visit! But as soon as they arrive at Crimson’s house in Cackle County, things start to go wrong. At the rotten apple orchard, Crimson’s ripening spell goes horribly awry (what will they do with all that rotten applesauce?). Then, at the broom-straw field, Wesley cuts too much straw and starts to float away. And when the friends try to collect frogs’ breath for their spells (it makes everything wonderfully green and warty), Mauve gets a stinky faceful of it! What on earth is going on? The whole countryside feels like something big is about to happen, and Crimson wonders if it has something to do with Granny Twill and that giant cauldron of stew she made. Can Crimson get to the bottom of this bad-luck mystery? And, more importantly, will her city friends ever want to visit her again?

Crimson Twill Witch in the Country is an adorable continuation of this series, where this time around, Crimson Twill gets to show her city friends around her country life. Crimson Twill is a witch you want to know; she is kind, thoughtful, and curious. When her friends from the big city come to visit, she is nervous, has made big plans, and has very high expectations of how the visit will go. Unfortunately, nothing went as she had hoped, and she was petrified her friends would never come to see her again after the disaster this visit was. It turns out, though, that her city friends are the best kind of friends, and they found joy in the holiday, although there were a few hang-ups along the way. I highly recommend this kid's book to young readers who like illustrations in their chapters and would select stories about witches and friendships.
