    Prunella wants to be a proper bog-witch, but her curses end up helping instead of harming.

    Her inability to curse allows a thief, Barnaby, to escape from her grandmother's garden and gets Prunella
    banished until she can do a proper curse.

    Barnaby is on a quest to gain fame and fortune by finding the Mirable Chalice and returning it to the queen.
    Now, Prunella must team up with the very thief who got her kicked out of her bog if she hopes to prove
    herself and return to her family, but helping Barnaby find the chalice might prove more dangerous than she
    thought.

    A tale worthy of sharing! With Fagan's combination of a bog-witch and a thief as unlikely heroes, THE
    MAGICAL MISADVENTURES OF PRUNELLA BOGTHISTLE is a brilliant tale of discovery and
    acceptance sure to entertain readers for years to come.
