From the publisher

Pobbolina is a witch who once loved cooking delicious meals for the children at Pebbleton School, but lately has been feeling tired, unappreciated, and bitter, and Franny Anne is a shy student who just transferred schools and worries that she won’t make any friends. One day, when a student makes a nasty remark about the school lunch, Pobbolina decides it is time to teach all the children a lesson with a spell that will turn them into bunnies! What she doesn’t expect is that, worrying about where to sit at lunchtime, Franny Anne has been hiding in the bathroom and avoided the spell completely. By finding a way to reverse the spell on her classmates and turn Pobbolina into a bunny herself, Franny Anne is able to win herself a new set of friends and a new class pet! If Pobbolina felt unseen as a cafeteria lady, she now feels pampered, loved, and appreciated as a bunny. With a new outlook on the children and with the help of her magic spell book, Pobbolina decides to return to her old form, but even though she looks like a cafeteria lady again, perhaps she doesn’t want to let go of her life as a beloved class pet completely!
