Yes, Mia is a witch – just like aunt Polly! And aunt Polly is the person teaching Mia everything about<br />
conjuring. Both of their faces have a birthmark that changes colour depending on their mood and betrays<br />
their feelings. Lying is therefore not so easy. But conjuring to assist humans and animals works<br />
that much better.<br />
Yet, learning to conjure isn’t easy at all – unplanned lightning can hit class mates, for instance. Chock<br />
full of slapstick: from pigs in the classroom to Pipi the rhinoceros.<br />
