I enjoyed reading this book. As an adult, I found the book to be a little bit too "young" for me. I love young adult books but would have to put this one in more of the older children's section. It was still a fun enough read that I'm looking to purchase the 2nd one in the series and go from there.
It's about an evil sorceress who wants a dress made by the Ancient Crones. The only problem is that the dress is going to be expensive and she has no money. So she sets out on an evil plot to blackmail the kings and queens of the realm. It's a battle against good and evil. Who will win? I enjoyed the characters the most. They were well written. My favorite was Marlon the bat. Loved that little guy! I also liked the illustrations throughout the book. The cover was the whole reason I bought it.
