Bookroo's summary
Rupert Campbell, a curious fifth-grader, can't resist the chance to become a witch's apprentice. But his new mentor, Witchling Two, is more interested in lollipops than spells. Together, they must navigate magical mishaps and outsmart the dreadful Mrs. Frabbleknacker. Can Rupert help the witchling pass her exams and stand up to his teacher, or will their magic fizzle out like a damp firecracker?
From the publisher
Eleven-year-old Rupert cannot resist applying to an advertisement for a witch’s apprentice but quickly finds himself over his head with the young witch-in-training who desperately needs his help.
