A whimsical picture book about a mysterious house in the woods full of black cats and flying brooms, and a child and dog who follow the clues to determine if a witch indeed lives there. For fans of Kiki's Delivery Service and How to Catch a Witch. When Felix and Spike find a house made of black stone and covered in ivy, with tall towers climbing high, they wonder . . . Does a witch live here? Felix has read every witchy book in the library, knows everything there is to know about witches, and always carries a book with him, just in case. Bats in every corner? Check. Croaking toads? Check. Ravens cawing and black cats prowling? Check and check. Felix knows a witch must live here! Spike, though, isn’t too sure. Join these curious friends on a magical adventure filled with clues and seek-and-finds to discover if it's true that "A witch lives here!"
