Crimson Twill is a very unusual young witch. She doesn’t wear black, doesn’t wear pointy shoes, and is exceedingly kind. When her mother agrees to take her on a shopping excursion to Broomingdale’s in the big city, Crimson is thrilled by the idea of spending the coins she has earned from doing chores. The surprise for the young witch is that she never manages to spend her coins, but has several adventures in Broomingdale’s, gaining something far more valuable than money can buy in the process… new friends.

This cute beginning chapter book teaches the important lesson that money is not necessary to find happiness and friendship. It would also make a fun addition to any Halloween display.
