What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

When Pocus doesn’t feel like playing, Hocus casts a spell. Now there are two Pocuses! Wait–FOUR Pocuses? Eight? Oh, dear. A delightfully wild afternoon awaits in the latest book in this enchanted and affirming series. Magical puppy Hocus wants to play, but her brother Pocus wants to nap. Before long, there’s a barking, tumbling puppy scrumble! When Jinx the witch sends the grumpy pups into the garden, Hocus gets an idea–she snatches a blooming wandflower and, with a burp of sparks, makes a second Pocus. But this Pocus doesn’t want to play, either. To make matters worse, when the two Pocuses start barking at each other, they multiply again (and again)! One of the Pocuses even puts Hocus in a magical time-out for being pushy. Warlock Tam uses their animal magic to calm the Pocuses so they won’t keep multiplying while Hocus and wizard Ofelia set about rounding them up to try to fix everything before Ofelia’s family arrives for her new wand celebration. But Jinx explains there’s no changing big magic without facing the big feelings inside it. Will the puppies be able to unspell each other before the party? Another lively adventure in this charming world where enchantment and empathy abound.
