When Bethany moves to Windy Falls and into a new house, she doesn't know anything about the weird woman who once lived there or the mysterious cloud that hangs over the gloomy village. Being a born explorer, Bethany seeks the answers to a host of strange events and discovers a magical world in a very unexpected place. She finds a witch in a magical kitchen who teaches her how to cast spells of her own; but is Mrs Etherington-Strange everything she appears to be?
