description: Mr Elives' Magic Shop seems to appear from nowhere - and disappears again just as fast! Never in the same place twice, it sells only the most exclusive wares...A talking toad, anyone? A dragon's egg? There's plenty to choose from...Jennifer was only looking for an unusual pet. She certainly didn't expect to get a toad that talked. But the strange Mr Elives told her the toad held a lot of secrets - and he wasn't wrong! She didn't find out about the toad's birth...or the treasure hidden in his forehead...or the witch who was out to get him...until she and her friends were in more trouble than they ever dreamed of!
