An adorable witch is anxious to get the perfect pet but learns to have patience when she brings home a mystery egg, from New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry. Perfect for Halloween! Evelyn Witch has everything a witch needs. Messy hair, bubbling potions, and perfectly carved pumpkins. But there's something missing -- a pet! Perhaps she'll get a bat or a griffin, or -- Oh. She can only afford the mystery pet: a plain white egg. She watches and waits for it to hatch. Sniveling snails, something has to be done! Evelyn rolls up her sleeves and heads to the library, where they keep all the best spells. It's time to get serious.
