Come on, admit it, we all love a gripping tale of our fellow creatures gone bad. Think Jaws, The Rats, The Crabs, Pede, Them! – the list is practically endless (hell, they even made a movie about killer bunny rabbits! Night of the Lepus, 1972, anyone?). There’s just something so inherently terrifying about the animals we see every day and take for granted are going to stay in their dens, burrows, nests, swamps, and crevices going on a murderous rampage of mayhem and outright slaughter against us poor human beings.

Rachel and Eric have special gifts. She is a spell-maker who can fly, take any shape she pleases, and see far and wide with her many-colored eyes. He is a destroyer of spells. When a party of witches are dispatched to Earth from the planet Ool, Rachel and Eric are tested to the limit.

In a blaze of light, rush of wind, and scrabble of claws, Rachel and Eric are ripped through the wall and hurtled on to another world. Like thousands of other children before them, they have been snatched away by the Witch. But this time the Witch has met her match. Rachel discovers that she has extraordinary gifts: she can transform herself into a feather, or fly on an owl’s back, just as the Witch can. The Witch is excited she has found someone to use for her own evil purposes. But for the Witch’s victims, Rachel is their only hope.

The magic of all children has been released. Throughout the skies of Earth they swoop, crossing continents, changing shape, diving to the ocean depths and playing the deadly new spell-games. Rachel bides her time, watching the skies for what she knows will happen - the invasion of the Witches. But when it comes it is not in the way anyone expects, and there is also a new enemy - the huge, terrifying Gridda-breed.

A lonely man gets more than he bargained for after ordering a hand-in-a-can from an old magazine.
