Description: " ... the beady-eyed, green-tongued witch Truda Hangnail spreads evil along her path to succeed Queen Bluebell, enlisting the kingdom's rats and shrinking the good witches of Wadingburn to pave her way to the throne. Luckily, a sweet-natured orphan named Loobly is witness to Truda's evil spells and sets off to fetch help."--Jacket flap.

When the quill writes "Go Go Go" frantically on the wall, and the House of the Ancient Crones heaves Gracie Gillypot outside onto the path, it can mean only one thing: there's Trouble in the Five Kingdoms. This time it's in the form of a beady-eyed, green-tongued witch named Truda Hangnail.
Notes: Sequel to: The robe of skulls.
