Publisher's summary

In The Curious Adventures of Jimmy McGee, Jimmy McGee is a tiny leprechaun-like man who thinks of himself as nothing more than a plumber, even if he does do his job very quickly thanks to a certain magic he possesses called zoomie-zoomies. But Jimmy's life of turning on water and fixing dripping faucets is disrupted when he rescues Amy's doll, Little Lydia, from a monstrous wave that sweeps her off the beach.

Jimmy keeps Little Lydia safe under his stovepipe hat, right on top of his magic box, where he keeps bolts of thunder and lightning—which causes Little Lydia to become electrified, out-of-control, be-bop doll with the zoomie-zoomies. Can Jimmy find a way to restore Little Lydia to her original state as a "do-nothing doll" before he returns her to her rightful owner?

In The Witch Family, Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly about on her broomstick crying “Heh-Heh!” and casting abracadabras, but now she has been sent away... by two young girls. Amy and Clarissa love to tell stories about Old Witch... until one day they decide she is just too mean and wicked. Drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, the girls exile Old Witch there with the warning that she’d better be good—or else no Halloween! For company they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby.

Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill…as Amy and Clarissa find out when Old Witch magics them into her world, a world of make-believe made real.
