Holly Weatherby lives in a most unusual house
Holly Weatherby lives at Number 11, Large Field. A most unusual address you might think. But then, there’s nothing very usual about Holly.
Holly’s world is turned upside down on the morning of her ninth birthday when her Uncle Monty contacts her and she discovers that her parents have had a spell placed upon them by an evil witch called Tabitha. Tabitha cast the spell because Holly's parents wouldn't let her take Holly away.
Tabitha has a nasty habit of stealing children and Holly soon finds out that she’s the only one who can stop the witch once and for all.
She and Monty team up with a miserable elf, a boy with a large jewel for an eye, a giant bendy straw and a rather nervous compost heap, and they set about plotting Tabitha’s downfall.
In June 2009. Holly Weatherby won Children's Book of the Year on the Arts Council sponsored website Youwriteon.com
