Summary: Jake is sure his new neighbor is a witch: who else would unpack a cauldron, a broomstick and a black cat? With a Halloween party coming and a messy house to fix, he writes her rhyming letters asking for a spell to do all the work. The witch writes back, but her magic may teach him more about effort and responsibility than he bargained for.
