About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their love for order and responsibility is 'boring' or when they are struggling to find where they fit in a world that prizes flashiness over reliability. Clover Twig is a remarkably sensible girl who takes a job as a housekeeper for a chaotic, messy witch named Mrs. Emma Vole. While the setting is fantastical, the heart of the story is about the value of a job well done and the quiet bravery required to keep things running smoothly. It is a perfect choice for middle-grade readers who enjoy whimsical magic but appreciate a protagonist who uses her brain and her broom to solve problems. The story balances lighthearted humor with a sense of mystery, making it an engaging read for children aged 8 to 12 who are discovering that being dependable is a superpower of its own.
