Most orphans would probably hate living at St. Morwald's Home for Children, but Earwig thinks it is absolutely perfect. From the moment she was left on the doorstep as a baby, she has cleverly managed to get everyone in the orphanage to do exactly what she wants. She has a wonderful life and absolutely no desire to be adopted by anyone.
But Earwig's perfect setup is ruined the day a terrifying woman named Bella Yaga and her strange, looming companion, the Mandrake, arrive to take her away. Earwig is suddenly whisked off to a bizarre, mysterious house filled with invisible rooms, bubbling potions, and dangerous spell books. It turns out her new foster mother is a very real, very bossy witch who expects Earwig to be her hardworking servant.
Most children would run away in sheer terror, but Earwig is not most children. Armed with her sharp wits and a little help from a talking magical cat, she decides to learn the secrets of magic and show this wicked witch who is actually in charge!
