Hiding at Polly’s teacher’s house, Polly and Buster are frightened and confused. They have fled from the witches in town who have been led by Mrs Halloway. She is head of the town’s Witch Committee, mother of Malorie (Polly’s ex-friend), and leader of a group called Witches against Monsters. She is after Polly’s best friend and monster – Buster.

Polly’s teacher (Miss Spinnaker) flies them to a hiding place but Polly quickly realises she is putting more people at risk by staying there. She decides to follow the dreams she has been having as the magic stones her father left her, glow in her hand.

Although frightened and prone to terrible air sickness, Polly’s trusted and beloved monster friend goes with her on a borrowed broomstick. What they find at the Hollow Valley Mines, makes her heart sink, then soar, then pound very fast as she uses her new found skills as a rare and powerful Silver witch.

Just as they believe they have prevented more hate and anger settling on their town, danger swoops in on them and Buster is in terrible danger. Only the truth can save them, and it suddenly comes from someone they’d never expect.
