Stopping for a Spell - E-book - ePub

How do you get rid of unwelcome visitors? Three stories which show that magic might be the answer, but you should always be careful about what you wish for! The Four GranniesWhen Erg and Emily's parents go away, they arrange for Granny to come and look after them. Unfortunately, they forget to say which granny, and all four turn up. Individually they're manageable, but when 'Strict', 'Worrier', 'Stingy' and 'Saint' get together it's a different matter - and when Erg tries to magic them away, the result is an awesome 'Supergranny'! Chair PersonOne day Simon and Marcia's parents decide to get rid of the old, striped armchair - next day Chair Person turns up, bad-tempered, demanding and with very bad manners.
No one seems able to get the better of him, until Auntie Christa turns up too. Who Got Rid of Angus Flint?How do you get rid of a guest who picks you up by the hair, won't let you play the piano, watch television or shut the window? Candida and her family try everything - they poison his stew and litter the house with roller-skates in the hope that he will fall over them - but nothing works! Surely they can't be stuck with him for ever?
