Pongwiffy has just conjured an amazing spell, a wall of smell to protect her hovel in a dump site. It's so disgusting that nobody can get near it without her secret magic formula. Now she's ready to organize the best-ever Halloween Bonfire party, featuring a fancy dress parade. Pongwiffy has even persuaded her sometime best friend, Sharkadder, to be a judge. Everything's coming up stinkweed -- until her Broomstick goes missing, then shows up white as a sheet, and practically splinters at the whisper of "Goblin!" Pongwiffy's desperate. What have the Goblins done to Broomstick? Is it contagious? And who's this down-on-his-luck genie lurking around her precious dump? Clearly he's up to no good. It's curtains in the coven for Pongwiffy unless she can pull off a slam-bang parade and outwit the evildoers before everything goes to heck! less

Winner of the Nottinghamshire Book Award, 1993. When Pongwiffy finds Granny Malodour's famous wishing water recipe, she's certain it will win the Spell of the Year Competition. But getting hold of the unusual ingredients is not an easy task, and it lands Pongwiffy in big trouble.

Pongwiffy has more riotous adventures when she arranges a holiday for the Witches Coven at Sludgehaven on Sea. But, much to her dismay, she discovers that their arch-enemies the Wizards and the Goblins are there too.

pongwiffy and the witches are in desperate need of some money, but are tired of all the usual fund-raising ideas. Then Pongwiffy has a brainwave - the Witches can sell tickets and put on a pantomime! What could possibly go wrong? A laugh-out loud story, mixed in with much sludge, slime and some very bad habits.

Spellovision has come to Witchway Wood and everyone's got one. Pongwiffy thinks it's boring and prefers old-fashioned amusement - like learning to play the guitar. Gradually all the witches join her, and the group becomes so popular that Pongwiffy suggests they go on Spellovision as they're better than the rubbish already on. So the great Spellovision Song Contest is born. Anyone can enter - except the Goblins who only care about driving cars... moreSpellovision has come to Witchway Wood and everyone's got one.

So the great Spellovision Song Contest is born. Anyone can enter - except the Goblins who only care about driving cars. They make off with Sheridan Haggard's car and, in the ensuing chase, crash into Witchway Hall just as the deciding votes are coming in. The witches soon decide they've had enough of Spellovision and music - they can't wait to get back to magic. less
