About this ebook
Join in the wicked fun with Which Witch? A twisty and outrageously funny gothic adventure full of dangerous spells and magical mishaps. By Eva Ibbotson, with deliciously whimsical black-and-white illustrations by Becka Moor
Arriman has decided to marry. As top dark wizard, his wife must be the wickedest of witches – but which witch will she be? He holds a spell-casting competition to find out.
Hopelessly in love at first sight, Belladonna is determined to win – but there’s one big problem: all her attempts at dark magic go hopelessly wrong. Snake-casting spell? Perfumed flowers. Vampire-summoning? An adorable bat roosting in her hair.
Everything changes when she meets orphaned Terrance and his pet worm, Rover, who appears to be a powerful familiar. As long as he’s nearby, Belladonna’s magic grows dark and devious.
But with scheming enchantress Madame Olympia as a determined rival for the wizard’s hand in marriage, can Belladonna win?
'This kind of fun will never fail to delight' - Philip Pullman

A wonderful novel for middle schoolers! I loved almost all of Eva Ibbotson's stories as a kid, but I especially enjoyed this one, because it has to do with not fitting in, and being yourself, and how it all works out in the end - but with Ibbotson's classic twists that are so fun to read along to. Plus the main characters are just delightful!

About the author
Eva Ibbotson was born in Vienna in 1925 and moved to England with her father when the Nazis came into power. Ibbotson wrote more than twenty books for children and young adults, many of which garnered nominations for major awards for children's literature in the UK, including the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the Whitbread Prize. Eva's critically acclaimed Journey to the River Sea won the Smarties Gold Medal in 2001. Set in the Amazon, it was written in honour of her deceased husband Alan, a former naturalist. Imaginative and humorous, Eva's books often convey her love of nature, in particular the Austrian countryside, which is evident in works such as The Star Of Kazan and A Song For Summer. Eva passed away at her home in Newcastle on October 20th 2010. Her final book, One Dog and His Boy, was published in May 2011.
