Book Description
Meet Pongwiffy! Eureka! 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!

Book Description
A brand new bind-up edition of the much-loved classic children's series Pongwiffy including A Witch of Dirty Habits and The Goblin's Revenge! Pongwiffy has just moved into a new cave, and it's dirty, smelly and damp - in other words it's perfect for a witch like Pongwiffy! At least it would be if her next door neighbours weren't a group of extremely noisy Goblins... Before long Pongwiffy can bear it no more and enlists the help of her best friend, Witch Sharkadder, to find her somewhere else to live. And that's when the problems really start! In the second story, the Goblins are back and up to their usual tricks! But this time Pongwiffy also has to deal with a badly behaved broom, a bonfire disaster and a strange genie.... Two laugh-out-loud stories of humour and warmth, enticingly mixed with much sludge, slime and very bad habits. Now with brand new illustrations from Katy Riddell!

Book Description
Pongwiffy has it all...a hovel of her own, a sometime-friend named Sharkadder, and an odor only a witch could love. Everything is almost perfect -- until a gaggle of Goblins move in next door. Heavens above, they're enough to wake the dead. It's time to move. But where? And where will she find a much-needed assistant? Sharkadder persuades Pongwiffy to advertise...but the only asistant who answers is a hamster. What's a witch to do? Forget about finding a new slum! How can Pongwiffy cope with a gang of Goblins, a sassy rodent assistant, and the Witches' Coven, who are waiting for an explanation? Even worse, she's responsible for Sourmuddle's 200th birthday cake. What will happen if Pongwiffy messes that up?
