Wednesday Weeks never wanted to be a sorceress. She's into science, not this stuff. But when her grandfather, the Guardian of the Five Uncontrollable Spells, is captured by the goblin king, Wensday has to accept his magical heritage in order to rescue the grandfather from the gloomy Tower of Shadows, which is said to be terrible. Fortunately, she is not alone. Her best friend Alfie (an expert in mathematics and robotics) is ready to help even in parallel universes. But will they be trapped?.. Just imagine, Wensday managed to combine chemistry and magic, remembering school lessons, and mixed soda and vinegar with magic berries to extinguish the unbreakable flame!
