Cover Blurb
A typical December for the Alexanders consists of gingerbread baking, movies, and looking at Christmas lights, but after their parents are called in to work, Ava, Nolan, and Charlotte are sent to stay with their most feared relative for a week-Great-Aunt Poppy. Have mom and dad gone mad?
Of course, the children are terrified. Who wouldn't be? No one believes them when they say that Poppy-or Groppy as they call her-is a witch. If the haunted house isn't bad enough, there are thousands of crazy cats, chaotic and deadly spells, and even worse-frightening howls from the woods that grow louder and closer every second. Something deadly lurks outside. Staying alive while living with Groppy for an entire week is-well-impossible!
In order to survive the holiday, it will take all the bravery and wit the kids can muster. But who knows? Things aren't always what they seem! The best holiday surprise this Christmas might be hiding in the most unlikely place imagined!

Endorsement for Enchanted Misadventures
"Spooky, fun, and perfect for kids looking for an adventure! It made me laugh, gasp and wonder what would happen next. This book has everything you’d want for the younger generation. I’m excited to see what the author writes next."
- Victoria McCombs, best-selling author of The Storyteller's Daughter
"Hallie Christensen's novel is a fun-filled and sometimes scary fantasy adventure full of all the things the title suggests: magic, mayhem, and monsters...The plot thickens, the characters are well developed with good descriptive narrative to set the stage, the story hits its climax, and the reader will definitely be sitting on the edge of their seat... A real page-turner with that one subtle message: don't concern yourself with what others think of you. Be yourself."
- Readers' Favorite 5-star review
"This book is filled to the brim with colorful imagination and positive messages... while of course providing a few good spooks and edge of-the-seat action scenes along the way!"
"Young readers will thoroughly enjoy the humor, sibling banter, and adventure to be found in this story... As more of the mystery and magic begins to unfold, readers will find themselves tearing through the pages to find out what happens to the Alexander children next."
