The people expect her to protect them and she needs the gift of magic to do this. Where can she find it? Who will teach her?

Gretchen, who is learning to be a witch, leaves home to study with Grizelda. There is trouble brewing - well, not so much brewing as quietly simmering on a low heat, looking innocent! Grizelda's crystal ball will only show a vague shape behind a thick red fog. Is it smoke from dragon fire? Could the shape be Wil, the stranger from a different world, who blunders in where others don't dare to? Whatever it is, Gretchen hopes she will be in the middle of any adventure that crops up, even though she hasn't passed Stage One of Witchery yet. But dark magic should never be stirred up- it gets indigestion and comes back with enough force to knock you off your feet!

Grizelda is a girl witch and thinks she is ten years old but isn't sure because she doesn't really know when or where she was born or how she came to have such strong magical powers. She is the Official Witch of Whoomph, an enchanted town nestling in a dip made by a falling dragon and protects it from the dark Realm of the Faerie ruled by Queen Milduna. Time begins to wobble around her and strange things happen that even in a magical world are odd, which all seem to point to the mystery of her birth. Her search for answers takes her on a journey to creepy places with weird creatures that test her to the limit. But she cannot go back to Whoomph until this puzzle is solved.

The virus in Pete's computer hasn't been sent to crash it but to prepare it. His eighteenth birthday looms and he is about to discover that his genes are special - to the power of seven. The effect is magical, the stuff of myth and legend, but difficult to control and not welcome.
