Witches are among us. Witches hate children. Witches think that children smell like fresh dog poop. And now the Grand High Witch is planning to turn all children into mice. Can anyone stop her? This is the story of a very small, very brave hero who managed to do just that.

"I was not yet eight years old when I had two encounters with witches, one after the other. I came out unscathed from the first, but unfortunately had less luck on the second occasion. Things happened to me that will probably make you scream when you read them. There's no changing that. The truth must come to light."

Fearless heroes and heroines full of strength and imagination that empower children: No matter who you are or where you are, no matter who tries to belittle you – with imagination, determination, and courage, you can take your own crazy story into your hands and be anything you want.
