Crimson Twill: Witch in the City
Crimson Twill is an adventurous young witch excited for her first trip to Broomingdale’s, a magical shop with lots of surprises in store – a puppy hiding among the cats, a mischievous broom and a witch’s hat unlike any she’s ever seen before. But there’s more to discover in Broomingdale’s than what’s for sale on the shelves…
A rich and playful new world comes to life in the first book of this endearing series, with easy-to-read text and charming illustrations.

Reviews
With its theme of being true to yourself, full of witchy whimsicalness and gentle humour – I love the fun word plays – this is the first of Kallie George’s chapter book series. Birgitta Sif’s black and white illustrations are a delight, depicting an inclusive city community.
