Potions and Notions — Barbara Emodi

Colleen's mother and the tea party ladies at Seaview Manor in Gasper's Cove have secrets to keep. When the ladies start talking witches, right before Halloween, Colleen begins to worry. Unsettled by an explosive death in the community, and the reappearance of a black cat called Maybelline, Colleen knows she has no choice but to use the tea party's potions and notions to restore order. How else will she ensure that justice is served and still get her grandchildren around the block to trick-or-treat in time? The pressure's on, the moon is rising, and all Colleen has to work with is a jar full of buttons and memories.
