Ivy Lou has everything a child could want--except friends. When a peculiar witch appears and uses enchanted knitting needles to craft magical playmates, Ivy Lou thinks her luck has changed. But this witch has plans of her own. Soon, Ivy Lou's elegant house is replaced by a horrid little hut, and she's being groomed to become a witch's child herself.
Potions, spells and broomsticks fill Ivy Lou's days, but even her most fearsome tantrums fail to impress the witch. As midnight approaches, Ivy Lou must race to unravel the witch's dark magic with only a pair of knitting needles—and her wits—to guide her.
Here's what makes The Knitting Witch unforgettable:
- Spellbinding Storytelling: A whimsical, slightly spooky tale that explores childhood bravery, gratitude, and cleverness.
- Rich Illustrations: Gorgeous full-color art on 21 pages, plus partial and spot illustrations, vividly bring Ivy Lou's magical world to life.
- A Modern Classic: Written by Norma Kassirer, beloved author of Magic Elizabeth, whose timeless style has captivated generations.
- Perfect for Fall & Halloween: Witches, magic, and a dash of mischief make this an ideal pick for the season and a standout gift.
A feast of magic, humor, and adventure, The Knitting Witch is perfect for young readers ready to be whisked into a world where anything can happen--especially if you have a little yarn and a lot of heart.
