About the series:
Wednesday Weeks never wanted to be a sorcerer’s apprentice. She’d rather study science than magic. But when her cloak-wearing, staff-wielding grandpa is captured by a power-hungry goblin king, Wednesday must find a way to embrace her magical heritage and rescue him from the dreaded Tower of Shadows.

Queen Penelope set her prisoners to work in these cages,’ Grandpa continues. ‘Kneading dough, slicing salami . . .’
‘It was a terrible time,’ Bruce says. ‘Prisoners chopping onions, tears rolling down their faces. Others chopping pineapple . . .’
‘Pineapple?’ Alfie looks horrified. ‘On a pizza?’
‘Bruce, please.’ Grandpa shoots Bruce a look. ‘They’re still apprentices.’
