When Felina the witch wrecks her broom and is forced to live with a human family, life gets a bit unusual. This was a sweet story about family and friendship. My favorite part was the Christmas morning scene. That chapter shows you that this book is not just for Halloween.
The Little Leftover Witch
By Florence Laughlin
A little lost witch undergoes a magical transformation when she’s loved by a human family in this heartwarming story.
When Felina, a little witch, breaks her broom on Halloween and can’t fly home, she is stuck with the Doon family and their black cat, Itchabody, for an entire year. Although she’s homesick and unhappy, the Doon parents and their daughter, Lucinda, do their best to make Felina feel welcome. (And she has no trouble with Itchabody at all!) As time passes, the mischievous Felina learns what it means to be part of a family—and how, with love, she will always belong.
This timeless tale, originally published in 1971 and cherished ever since, brims with witchy whimsy and will find a home in the hearts of a new generation of readers.
