About The Book

A by-the-spellbook young witch teams up with a free-spirited human girl to save the first night at her job from catastrophe in this first book in the illustrated young middle grade Broomsticklers series perfect for fans of The House at the Edge of Magic and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

It’s Broomhilda’s first night of work-study at Broomsticklers, and things are off to a wobbly start. Her boss has been gone for hours, an infamous wizard is demanding an impossible broom repair, and now an overly bubbly human named Poppy has crashed-landed through the roof. Worst of all, Poppy is offering to help. Disaster!

But the grandfather clock is ticking, and it’s time to throw caution to the cauldron. Agreeing to set aside their differences until dawn, Broomhilda and Poppy don their best travel cloaks to complete an increasingly absurd array of errands throughout the magical realm of the Otherworld.

After all, when you’re a broomsmith apprentice, dealing with strange beasts and even stranger hijinks is all in a night’s work!
