Twelve -year-old Lily Padd’s life has turned ALL weird. Long black hairs germinated from her chin. Her best friend Maureen is turning into a hairy Marmalade Cat. And Rick Bastek, the school bully is making her life sheer hell.
Can life get any worse for Lily Padd?
Well it can!
Lily Padd is infatuated with a cute new boy named Storm. She dreams of hanging out with him at the school Halloween Dance.
But how’s that ever going to happen?
Not when the prettiest and meanest girl in class, Ellen Middleton is threatening to tell the whole school Lily’s embarrassing secrets!
And her next door neighbour, Mrs Swan is a witch on a mission.
Find out if Lily Padd survives this magical pandemonium and goes to the Halloween Dance!

PS Is that you Melissa Walsh?
Sounds like a bewitching book. 🙂
I’ll be buying this book for my grandkids, they will love it, but I’ll have to get one for me too 😛
Love love love enchanting childrens books- who doesn’t like a bit of magic!! Looks and sounds great : ))
I not only love the teaser description of this book, I love the rich print book cover design which also pulls the perspective reader’s eyes toward the book giving the reader a greater thirst to pull it from the bookshelf to read.
In addition, I love the fact the author focused on real issues for this particular age group. My daughter has reached this stage in her life. Books with storylines/messages to help children at this stage of their lives are appreciated, and to be told with humor just makes it much nicer.
Best of luck to you during niche marketing. I wish you all the best as you help children laugh, appreciate growth, change and maturation in such fun carefree way.
