Illustrated by
Scott Gibala-Broxholm.
City witch Mitzi and her country cousin Muffletump try out each others' worlds. Silly magic (e.g., turning a bus into a hayride and a pond into a bubble bath) helps them feel more at home, but only when a special spell is cast can the dissimilar though loving cousins harmonize. Funny details are tucked within the cheerfully busy watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations.
