No Way, Beatrix Spelling!

By Siri Kolu

Rosa and Lars made a deal with Beatrix Spelling, where she agreed to stop kidnapping children and behave appropriately in all other ways too. But then Beatrix puts a spell on Youtube and eager fans with her song Oh Electric and is aiming for the Parliament, no less. What on earth would happen if Beatrix and the other urban witches chanting their slogan Make Your Day Magic get into power?

The fight against the urban witches gets even harder for Rosa and Lars. Luckily they have help in the form of Irish Wolf Hound Maybel and a large group of well-informed children.
