Kit and Caboodle

Overview

Witches are good at casting spells, flying and making potions, right?

Kit is a witch, but she isn’t very good at witchy things. One Halloween, a bedraggled bat named Caboodle comes tumbling through Kit’s window. She tries using magic to fix his broken wing, but the results are … unexpected.

Caboodle causes havoc in the house as he waits for his wing to heal. Kit is at her wit’s end. But when Caboodle goes missing, Kit realizes just how special he is to her.

A beautiful mix of magic and humor, and a celebration of true friendship.
