Even though they weren't able to help with the Halloween Bash this year, they can still go together and have fun.

Before sending them off, he also warns them to keep themselves hidden because it is a school for witches. Enough surreal subtlety to set it apart from other 'little witch girl' stories that used to be so popular.

Upon reaching the village, Brainy tells Smurfette that Papa Smurf already has enough trouble teaching him how to be a wizard, and also adds that witches are ignorant creatures who could never truly know how to be good. Which I feel in someway may also confuse younger readers (it is a small book so there isn’t much space to develop so many characters) – I also found that the names are all very similar too. I read this book when it first came out, through a class bookclub which was the primary way I got new books when I was a child, books being prohibitively expensive in my income bracket.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Pitzorno creates a meandering tale which follows Alfonso on his quest to uncover, track-down, woo and marry a witch all before the deadline that has been handed to him. When the revolting Asdrubale Tirinnanzi's Great Uncle Sempronio dies, he's convinced that he's finally going to inherit his millions.

Willing to prove that evil is more powerful than good, Miss Snarly causes the window Brenda lands near to turn into a mouth that attacks her before she chases after her student with her broom.

I especially liked the illustrations of the witches flying, and them sitting in a circle with their faces lit up, they are captured perfectly. Now that he is his normal self, Brainy takes the opportunity to scold Brenda, saying that evil spells and Smurfs don't mix. But who believes in witches in the 21st century and in any case who would want to marry the ghastly Alfonso?

His greasy hair was full of dandruff, his ears were filthy and there was a black line around the collar of his shirt. Then Smurfette comes by and scolds the young witch for changing one of Mother Nature's creations into a frog. Miss Snarly uses her power to turn a cloud into an octopus that attacks Brenda, then a tree into a fire-breathing dragon. When she gives up racing to the moon to help a kitten, pumpkin, and little boy, she feels like she's done something terribly wrong.
