When she’s paired with the popular Josh for a museum-wide treasure hunt, Egg thinks her luck might finally be changing.She's wrong.As the hunt leads them deeper into the eerie, artefact-filled halls, the shadows begin to stretch. Why does Mr. Fellgrim look exactly like a man in a hundred-year-old portrait?

Now, she must find the courage to face Priscilla— a powerful, ancient witch with a wicked plan. If Egg can’t find a way out, she’ll become much more than just a student on a school trip. She’ll be the museum’s newest permanent exhibit...

Hi, my name is Kate Wiseman and I write books for children and young adults. I'm very proud of my Gangster School series of comic adventures for readers from the age of 8. They have been published in four countries! I also love history, especially anything to do with the First World War and mudlarking. Mudlarking is searching the banks of the Thames for artefacts that were thrown away or lost, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of years ago. I'm a licensed mudlark and it's my favourite thing in the world. There's nothing better than squidging through knee-deep mud looking for treasures. Sometimes I find some; sometimes I just lose my wellies. :) It's always fascinating. My new book is called The Witch Bottle and its about a girl called Egg, who finds herself tricked into swapping places with a very old and powerful Witch called Priscilla. If this wasn't bad enough, the swapping places entails living inside a bottle in the Pitt Rivers Museum where strange things come to life at night. Watch this space!

‘A magical middle-grade with a powerful witchy vibe and a generous dose of humour’The Witch Bottle is a story that follows Evangeline Edgeworth (otherwise known as Egg) on her journey through family break-up and a deep lack of confidence in a twisty, magical adventure steeped in witchcraft.Trapped in a witch bottle, Egg gradually discovers her true self - brave and strong and resourceful. Buoyed with a new-found confidence she sets about confronting the witch who is holding her captive. A page-turner of a story with a protagonist who rises up to fight for her family and friends.
