When Mig and her family go for a short visit, they soon learn that Aunt Maria rules the place with a rod of sweetness thatтАЩs tougher than iron and deadlier than poison. Life revolves around tea parties, while the men are all grey-suited zombies who fade into the background, and the other children seem like clones.
The short visit becomes a long stay, and when all talk of going home ceases, Mig despairs! Things go from bad to worse when MigтАЩs brother Chris tries to rebel, but is changed into a wolf .
Mig is convinced that Aunt Maria must be a witch тАУ but who will believe her? ItтАЩs up to Mig to figure out whatтАЩs going on. Maybe the ghost who haunts the downstairs bedroom holds the key?
