Witches absolutely detest children. To a witch, a child smells like dogs’ droppings. When a boy and his grandmother find themselves at the same hotel as the Grand High Witch — for the annual meeting of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children — they must do everything they can to stop her and all the witches of the world from turning every child into a mouse.
