Witch in the City (Crimson Twill #1)
by Kallie George (Author) Birgitta Sif (Illustrator)
A little witch with a penchant for bright colors and bows has a surprising big-city shopping adventure in the first book of an illustrated series filled with offbeat charm.
Crimson Twill is a little witch, but you might not know it. She lives in the country and loves polka dots and puppies instead of pointy shoes and black dresses. She even wears a big bow on her hat--which is crimson, just like her name. Tonight, for the very first time, Crimson is riding on her mother's broom all the way to New Wart City to go shopping at Broomingdale's! The huge department store has everything a witch could itch for. For Crimson, each floor (hats! cats! brooms!) is a new adventure. But is Broomingdale's ready for a witch as unique as Crimson?
A rich and playful new world comes to life in the first book of this charming series.

Giggling instead of cackling, skipping instead of slinking, and sporting a black hat with a big crimson bow, young Crimson Twill is portrayed as hardly witch-"typical." When the pale-skinned witch travels with her mother from their Cackle County home to Broomingdale's, New Wart City offers myriad opportunities for Crimson to showcase her developing know-how and compassionate heart. Riddled with wordplay ("Slime Square," "Vera Fang"), George's chapter book series starter revels in lighthearted witchy whimsy while underlining themes of being true to oneself; Sif's textural b&w illustrations depict a variously inclusive city community. Ages 7-9. (July)
