Mysterious Miss Slade Book

"A witch, she is. Don't you go near her". Perhaps it's the eye patch. Or maybe it's the donkey she rides. It might even be the ancient caravan she lives in, surrounded by six dogs, six cats, several goats, and a lot of chickens. Whatever the reason, the village children think she's a witch. Except Jim and Patsy Reader. To them, Miss Slade is the eccentric neighbor who lets them play with her animals, shares her lunch of chips and cookies, and makes them laugh out loud. But Miss Slade is a mystery, even to the Readers: Why does she speak like an aristocrat? And where did she get that gold sovereign? It turns out Miss Slade does have a secret after all -- one that brings trouble when discovered. Luckily, she has some friends -- human and canine -- who can help.
