Martha owns a coffee shop. But it's no ordinary shop ,instead it's a witch brew . Grandmothers mostly bring their grandchild to her to teach them a lesson on eating vegetables. But the story doesn't start there . Martha's grandkids were visiting her .this time Martha wants to tell her grandkids that she's a witch . But in revealing she's a witch , she gifted a magical cake to her grandkids. One of them (Lucas) eat the whole cake (which is dangerous ) and makes a wish . The wish sends Martha ,her daughter and grandkids into a magical adventure .
This book is amazing . It can be read by both children and adult . The story format is great . I liked the writing style of the author . Martha has a unique style of magic .the book ends with a cliffhanger. I will surely be reading the second book
