Wendy the witch has two pretty mean older sisters, Polly and Wog. They wouldn't let her ride with them, claiming that she didn't have a proper broomstick and they wouldn't let her help cast spells. Little Wendy tries her best to master these skills and succeeds quite well after she makes a friend on Halloween night. His belief in her abilities lets her cast a few spells that help convince her sisters that she is also a formidable witch. Jane Manning's green witches are more amusing than scary.
