With a vibrant, unique voice, and amazing illustrations to match, Inky Willis conjures up magic for every reader! When a tiny, papery witch called Notes emerges from Molly’s pen pot she hopes for some magical solution to her problems. But Notes is a most unusual witch who doesn’t quite understand how school works - and some of the ‘helpful’ things she does make matters even worse. Is Molly doomed to be miserable forever? Or will Notes learn the rules in time to save her from a friendless future? But then Molly receives a note from Chloe that mentions her new friends and the Inter-School Spelling Championship and her bubble bursts. In retaliation, Molly enters herself into the competition. Just one tiny problem: Molly absolutely HATES spelling. Monday is always a bad day in school because Molly’s teacher, Mr Stilton, is “a bit moody” but this Monday is made even worse when Molly’s best friend Chloe tells her she is moving to a new school!
