The sorceress Lady Lamorna wants a skull-studded gown of deep black velvet but finds her treasure chest empty of gold. That doesn't stop her from kidnapping, blackmailing, and using more than a little magic to get what she needs. Will all her best-laid plans be foiled by the heroic Gracie Gillypot, two chatty bats, a gallant (if scruffy) prince, the wickedest stepsister ever, a troll with a grudge, and some very Ancient Crones? "As wacky as it is entertaining." - ? Publishers Weekly "An adventure where everyone gets his, her, or its due, where goodness is rewarded and evil punished oh-so-wickedly." - ? The Horn Book
