But when Fran the Fabulous Fairy visits Linden House and finds Peggy has gone, leaving evil Felicity Bat in charge - the girls realise something is very wrong. When witches all across town start to disappear, Tiga and Fluffanora set out to investigate and discover an unsolved mystery that might just be the key to it all.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Tiga’s voice, as well as those of her friends, are fresh and modern and will appeal to young readers. Anderson’s vibrant spot and full-page illustrations leap off the page and add a layer of vivaciousness to an already appealing story." - School Library Journal

"Pounder creates her little world full of rivalries, friendship, and silliness with the aid of Anderson's neatly tuned, wacky drawings . . . Plenty of zany fun in the land of the little witches." - Kirkus Reviews

"The young witches, along with the sassy little fairies, make for a colorful and unpredictable cast of characters. Whimsical black-and-white illustrations throughout help readers envision this fantastical locale . . . Silliness, riddles, puns, and many magical mishaps make this a great choice to help fill the elusive 'funny book' hole that exists in many collections." - School Library Journal on WITCH WARS

"Debut author Pounder blends the particular, peculiar power of elimination competitions with the magic of fairies and witches, a winning combination. Anderson’s b&w illustrations—part Edward Gorey, part fashion illustration—bring an appropriately eerie style to the story." - Publishers Weekly on WITCH WARS

"Pounder’s entertaining first novel is packed with silliness, suspense, magic, and a surprising final turn. Humorous gray-scale cartoons add to the appeal . . . Promises good fun for middle-graders." - Booklist on WITCH WARS

"Pounder's comic romp froths with eccentric characters and whimsical worldbuilding, while Anderson contributes abundant charming drawings . . . A sweet little magical tale with at least one sequel on the way." - Kirkus Reviews on WITCH WARS

"The wide-eyed figures of Anderson’s multicultural cast have an energetic silliness that complements the bubbly humor of the text. Fans of Hale’s Ever After High series . . . will find this to be an enchanting counterpart to those books." - BCCB on WITCH WARS

"Pounder’s imagination holds true in this sequel . . . The mix of font sizes, invented words, plenteous dialogue, and Anderson’s detailed yet mirthful grayscale illustrations will hold plenty of appeal for readers of this humorous fantasy." - Booklist

Another wild romp in Sinkville follows Witch Wars (2016) as Tiga and her friends try to solve the mystery of disappearing witches.Tiga's friend Peggy is now Top Witch, but she disappears when the evil Felicity Bat and her sidekick, Aggie Hoof, take over the top spot, insisting that Peggy said she was "going away with the fairies." They aim to get rid of every good witch in Sinkville. Tiga sets out to find Peggy with her friends Fran the fairy and Fluffanora (depicted with brown skin and poufy hair, in contrast to the rest of the evidently white cast). They search far and wide in Ritzy City and the rest of Sinkville, the land beneath the pipes of the upper world, where the witches live. Traveling through time to the disappearance of fashion designer Eddy Eggby reveals a slew of disappearances—and Tiga despairs of reversing the spell. Pounder creates her little world full of rivalries, friendship, and silliness with the aid of Anderson's neatly tuned, wacky drawings. Her characters' favorite epithets often involve frogs, such as "frognails," "frogsticks," "froglumps," etc. They enjoy drinks and conviviality at Clutterbucks and dessert at Cakes, Pies, and That's About It Really. Plenty of zany fun in the land of the little witches. (Fantasy. 8-12)
