Bookroo's summary

Mitzi, a witch with a penchant for the creepy, is on a quest for the perfect pet. Bats are too wild, toads too dull, and warthogs are a disaster. Desperate for a companion who can share her secrets, Mitzi's hopes dwindle. But on a stormy night, an unexpected visitor at her door might just be the friend she's been searching for. Can this mysterious creature be the answer to her wishes? Discover how true friendship can appear in the most surprising forms, with a sprinkle of magic and humor along the way.

From the publisher

Mitzi is a witch who likes creepy things. So when she decides to get a pet, she wants the creepiest pet possible. But the bats she tries are too batty, the toad does nothing but eat bugs, and the warthogs . . . well, that’s a whole other story.Mitzi is in despair. She wants a creepy pet that is fun–and that will share her secrets. It seems too much to hope for, until one rainy night when something unexpected scratches on her door. . . .With gentle humor and a touch of magic, Arthur Howard reveals how true friendship sometimes turns up in the most surprising places.
