Synopsis

This book is about a witch. An EVIL witch. And dangerous. She might not look so evil and dangerous, when you first spot her. But she really is. Så watch out. This book is also about a boy. A boy with a red balloon. And he is not so easy to frighten.

Can you be friends with someone who is very different to yourself - and who is does not seem particularly friendly at first encounter? If you are a stubborn boy who loves balloons and is not so easy to scare off - then perhaps...

With lovely illustrations by Anne Louise Laugesen.
