Luke's grandmother knows a lot about witches. She tells him stories about them all the time. About the little girl who disappeared and then reappeared in a painting. About the boy who turned to stone and the girl who laid eggs, brown eggs. She told him all about how to recognize witches, what they looked like, how they behaved and some of the tricks they used to lure children into their traps.  Then, by chance, Luke saw a witch, many witches actually. He learned of their plans to destroy all the children of England. But how will he stop them? What can he do?  Please join me in reading about Luke, his grandmother and the witches of England!
