Pravidla čarodějek jsou jasná – v zájmu přežití na sebe neupozorňovat, být co nejopatrnější a moc se nedružit ani s ostatními čarodějkami. Protože kde je čarodějek víc, tam šijí s magií všichni čerti. No jo, jenže co dělat, když vás osazenstvo jistého domu prokoukne? Ne, nechce vás upálit ani utopit ve vašem rybníčku s koi kapry. Je to mnohem horší. V tom domě totiž vyrůstají hned tři malé čarodějky. Bez výcviku. A za pár týdnů má dorazit právník, na jehož rozhodnutí závisí osudy všech v domě. A jasně, rozhodně v čarodějky nevěří, a pokud by v ně uvěřil, chtěl by ty monstra smazat z povrchu zemského. A tak Mika sbalí do svého autíčka všechen svůj majetek – včetně toho rybníčku a koi kaprů (magie, co se divíte?) a vyráží na záchranně-vzdělávací misi. Čelit dětem, právníkům, hněvu nejstarší čarodějky v Anglii i zatraceně pohlednému Irovi. Co by se mohlo pokazit?
