The witches of Anderson House have picked up their wands and gotten back on their brooms – and it's a good thing, too. It's all hands on deck to prepare for the annual spring festival: cakes are baking, magic is flying, and most importantly, the tea is brewing.

But in the hustle and bustle of preparations, a terrible accident means something more than baked goods has escaped the Anderson House kitchen: a mischievous little dragon! And he is determined to cause chaos. Can the witches track him down and stop his fiery antics before the entire festival is ruined?

Join Myrtle, Mei, and their magical broom-mates in the second book of this spellbinding series, created by the enchanting duo of Jennie Poh and Dave Lowe.

It's the day of the Deciding in the swampy town of Bogsmarsh-the day every twelve-year-old learns who they are going to be forever. Sitting in the Decider's study, Youngest Faircrest is declared remarkable at only one thing: just how unremarkable he is.

Determined to prove he is so much more than what has been Decided, Youngest does the only sensible thing: he heads to where no one else dares, to reclaim Bogsmarsh's stolen magic (if it even exists) – from a flying, stinging, yellow-eyed ancient sorcerer. Knowing Youngest's luck, she probably does exist!

Together with his best friend Agnes and piglet sidekick Satchel, Youngest is about to face monsters, mysteries, and mayhem… Could it be that Youngest is more remarkable than he's been made to feel, and capable of more than he ever dreamed?

• A laugh-out-loud fantasy world filled with monsters, magic, and mayhem.
• A fiercely loyal best friend and a trusty piglet with a surprise or two up his (non-existent) sleeves.
