Willa’s Monster Muddle

Paperback

Monstrous mistaken-identity comedy to tickle your spooky funny-bone!

When Willa follows the wrong witch into the wrong (haunted) house party, things don't look good. But one little girl's good nature, and her knack for missing all things supernatural, is definitely a match for any skeleton, witch, werewolf or vampire! Slapstick comedy perfect for all fans of the softly spooky.

Willa and her mum agree they will both go to a fancy-dress birthday party dressed as witches. But there’s a problem – when they run into two real witches a case of mistaken identity means that Willa ends up at an actual Haunted House, full of ghosts, skeletons and other creepy creatures. Bold and confident, Willa is also oblivious to what is going on around her: she thinks the monsters are all just friends and their parents in fancy dress! And as she searches the house for her mum, she creates total mayhem – including covering many of the party-goers in Frog’s Breath. Ribbit!!
