What if bravery isn't your thing? Alfie knows it's not good. Especially if you are the son of a brave explorer and a lion tamer. And especially if one day you have to move to live with strange aunts in a gloomy mansion, standing on the gloomy edge of a very gloomy forest. There is green smoke coming from the chimney of the mansion, one of the aunts has a huge bat, and apparently there is a ghost living in the library. And that's not the strangest thing that awaits Alfie now, because it looks like Alfie's aunts are... witches! And they practice magic every minute of their lives! More than anything, Alfie wants to hide in the closet and never come out of it again. However, instead, he will have to make a friend, learn to cast magic himself, fight back an evil witch and try to find in his soul something that he did not expect to see there - a tiny drop of courage.
