Peggy must help Chloe realise that monsters aren’t real in this heartwarming Halloween story about overcoming fears and anxiety.

In The Pug who wanted to be a Witch, Peggy wants to become a witch so she can do a magic spell and make the kitten next door disappear. But when she discovers a secret about her new neighbours, Peggy realises that a different kind of magic is needed – the magic of friendship!

A delightful Halloween collection with adorable black and white illustrations throughout. The perfect Halloween treat for fans of the world’s most loveable pug!
