Description

The third magical murder mystery in the bestselling Seth Seppi
series, which started with The Last Chance Hotel – Harry
Potter meets Robin Stevens!
Seth and his talking
cat Nightshade arrive in the magical town of Gramichee to gain an
apprenticeship: he’s finally read to qualify as a magician. But
he soon discovers that the existing apprentices are under attack
at the town’s Scrumdiddlyumptious Caf , which is far more deadly
than it is delightful. Seth’s got his hands full, as usual. Can he
pass his exams, discover who’s murdering the apprentices, and stop
them before they strike again?
