Lovable Clover Twig is back, and this time she's traveling along the Perilous Path to try and save her little brother Herby, in this new installment from Kaye Umansky. Clover Twig--clever, neat, responsible--is still in the employ of Mrs. Eckles--chaotic, cantankerous, and a witch. One day, Granny Dismal, a witch from the neighboring village, warns them that the Perilous Path has been seen in the woods. The Perilous Path has been around for ages and every witch in town is familiar with its lures and tricks, but it's all new for the sensible Clover Twig and her clumsy friend Wilf. When little Herby, Clover's baby brother, goes missing, Clover and Wilf must take their chances on the Path and rescue him from the clutches of Mrs. Eckles' evil sister, Mesmeranza.
