Rumblewick's witch, Haggy Aggy (HA for short), is not like any kind of witch that you would expect. For instance, like now, she's starting to go to ballet school. She would love to get a place in Swan Lake. But on the telephone, she really wants a place, so she pretends that she's a poor girl. She rubs mud on her face and comes in tattered clothes. Unfortunately, the people owning the ballet didn't put her in Swan Lake, but The Little Matchstick Girl instead. HA gets in a rage for the dress that she gets put in. The High Hags, the headquarters, think that going to ballet school is not suitable for a witch. If Rumblewick tells the High Hags that actually HA really loves ballet, he will be dangled over a cauldren and will be put back in witches' cats primary school! Can Rumblewick convince them that actually Haggy Aggy is trying to scare children in the ballet school? ( )

Haggy Aggy is horrible at being a witch. She would rather be around humans, much to the chagrin of her familiar, Rumblewick.

Using her magical abilities to be better at ballet and gymnastics, her use of magic keeps getting her noticed by the High Hags and the witch society. The problem is, these witches expect Rumblewick to teach Haggy Aggy how to be the most well-rounded, disgustingly terrible witch she can be.

Will Rumblewick be able to keep Haggy's human obsession a secret?

A cute, quick tale for reluctant readers. The characters are likable and fun to read about in this book and the others that follow in the series, even the High Hags and the witch society.
