Bookroo's summary
Grayling's mother, a hedge witch, is transformed into a tree by dark magic. Dubbed "Feeble Wits," Grayling embarks on a quest to reverse the curse. Along the way, she encounters a weather witch, an aromatic enchantress, a cheese soothsayer, and a shape-shifting mouse named Pook. Can Grayling, armed with only her wits, find the courage to become the hero her mother needs? As she navigates this magical world, Grayling must confront her own insecurities and discover her true potential. Will she succeed in her quest, or will the evil forces prevail?
From the publisher
It’s time for Grayling to be a hero. Her mother, a hedge witch, has been turned into a tree by evil forces. Tangles and toadstools! Lacking confidence after years of being called “Feeble Wits” by her mother, Grayling heads off dubiously into the wilds in search of help, where she finds a weather witch, an aromatic enchantress, a cheese soothsayer, a slyly foolish apprentice, and a shape-shifting mouse named Pook. A fast-paced and funny coming-of-age odyssey from Newbery medalist Karen Cushman.
