Plot Summary: This is where Harry Potter comes from! The seven-year-old hero of this story is orphaned in an automobile accident and lives with his aged, cigar-smoking grandmother, a retired witchophile. Even though she tells him everything he needs to know to identify witches, he inadvertently find himself in the midst of the annual convention of all the witches of England and discovers The Grand High Witch's plot to destroy every child in England. Before he can escape, he is turned (permanently) into a mouse. With the help of his grandmother, he turns the tables on the coven and the witches suffer the same fate.
Complaints: Promotes witchcraft
Solonor Says Ban It Because: Again with the fantasy, magic and witches...won't you ever learn that teaching evil leads to evil?
