Something is brewing in the town of Whitby. To best friends Lil and Verne, it just seems like a particularly bad storm. But Cherry Cerise, the last of the Whitby witches, fears that ancient forces are at work, reviving the curse of a long lost magical artefact. The legend goes that the Nimius was created by magician Melchior Pyke, with the assistance of a young witch known as Scaur Annie. But they were both betrayed by Pyke’s villainous manservant, Mister Dark, causing a feud that has survived even beyond death. As Mister Dark rises to mastermind Whitby’s very own apocalypse can Lil and Verne join with Cherry to quell his plans and save their home?

About the Author:
Robin Jarvis started writing in 1988 and quickly became a bestselling author with his Deptford Mice series and Whitby Witches series.
Review:
"The first book in a new series by Robin Jarvis, a big broomstick in the world of fantasy literature. . . . This is horror for beginners—with ouija boards, skulls in unexpected places and children finding themselves trapped in antique funfair automatons. . . . Jarvis is a master of suspense and also wit." —Times Children's Book of the Week
