Alcatoe and the Turnip Child

Author and illustrator: Isaac Lenkiewicz

A village vegetable-growing competition in Plum Woods inspires Alcatoe the witch to enter. Mischief and mayhem are unleashed when Alcatoe casts a spell on a turnip, making it grow, but turning it into a turnip child. Full of mild spooks, scares and silliness, with lots to see and spot!
