Wednesday Weeks never wanted to be a witch. She's into science, not this nonsense. But when her grandfather, the Keeper of the Five Uncontrollable Spells, is captured by the goblin king, Wednesday must embrace her magical heritage to rescue her from the dark Tower of Shadows, about which there are spooky rumors. Luckily, she is not alone. Her best friend Alfie (an expert in mathematics and robotics) is ready to help even in parallel universes. But won't they find themselves trapped?..Just imagine, Wednesday managed to combine chemistry and magic, remembering her school lessons, and mixed soda and vinegar with magical berries to put out the inextinguishable flame!
