Bookroo's summary

Nicky and his mom's dream of opening a tearoom in an old New England house hits a snag when they discover it's haunted by a mischievous witch. As the witch stirs up chaos with her broom and spells, the family must navigate this supernatural challenge. But could the witch's culinary skills be the key to their success? Discover the unexpected alliance that might just save their dream and serve up some magical blueberry pancakes.

From the publisher

When Nicky and his mom buy an old New England house to turn into a tearoom, they are startled to find they must share the house with its resident troublemaker, Old Black Witch. “Boo! Scat, and Ratcha Fratch!” Old Black Witch calls out to all the tearoom visitors. Zooming about on her dilapidated broom, she manages to stir up plenty of fuss and excitement. Old Black Witch and its sequels originally sold more than one and a half million copies, now the “Blueberry Pancake Witch” is back to stay! Try your hand at serving her delicious blueberry pancakes using the bewitching recipe that’s on the back cover.
