Hettie Hackwood's Magical Miracle Potion

By Sandra Maggs

Hettie Hackwood's spells and potions never work. Not only that but she's not very good on the broom either. One afternoon, quite by accident, Hettie stumbles upon a potion that cures everything. The potion makes animals talk and even fixes leaky boats.
With a talking goat and cat as her crew, Hettie takes her potion to London to make lots of money and of course meet the queen. But things don't go quite as they plan when they meet a naughty magician called Martin who wants to break into the palace.
Hettie and her friends are tricked into helping him, but can they stop Martin from stealing the crown jewels?

The Potion that Cures Everything

"Wart of a toad that was squished on a road,

A badger’s tail received in the mail,
