From Biblio:
A black cat that needs to rescue its brother from a witch's spell enlists the help of lonely ten-year-old Mary Smith.
This Bibliocommons description is actually somewhat incorrect. The cat leads Mary to a magical flower that enables her to ride the little broomstick and go to a Hogwarts type magic school.
As a fan of both Mary Stewart's Arthurian trilogy and her thriller romances like "Touch Not The Cat" I was surprised I had not only missed one of her books- but especially a kid's book about witches! I learned of this book only from watching the movie "Mary and the Witch's Flower." The movie did change a few things, naturally, but both were excellent, and each is fine as a stand alone or together. Fans of Ruth Chew will love this! Great story, great characters, and very satisfying ending!
