This is a story about a boy whose parents
are killed in an car accident and lives with
his grandmother in Norway.
The grandmother tells the boy about witches
and how to recognize one.
However, the boy’s father’s will instructs
that the boy should move to England to attend
school and so the boy and the grandmother
move to England.
As the boy is building a treehouse, a woman
with a green snake approaches him.
The boy thinks the woman is a witch, but she
eventually leaves and the boy is safe.
The boy’s grandmother is planning a vacation
with the boy to Norway for the summer, but
she gets sick and instead, they choose to
go to an English hotel near the ocean.
The boy wanders into a hotel conference room
and discovers that there is a witch convention.
He overhears the Grand High Witch telling
the witches of England to kill all the children
in England.
The Grand High Witch instructs the witches
to buy candy shops with the intention of feeding
the children candy that contains a secret
ingredient called Formula 86, a potion that
turns children into mice on a delay.
After the Grand High Witch demonstrates the
power of Formula 86 on a bratty boy at the
hotel, all of the witches cheer.
Just as the witches are about to leave, one
of the witches smells the boy and they chase
him down.
The Grand High Witch gives him an entire bottle
of Formula 86 and the boy instantly transforms
into a mouse and runs away.
The boy scurries to his grandmother and she
is shocked to see his transformation.
The boy tells her about the Grand High Witch’s
plan and they decide to use the Formula 86
against the witches at dinner.
The boy searches the Grand High Witch’s
room while she is away and escapes with a
bottle of Formula 86.
Later that evening, the boy sneaks into the
kitchen and mixes the bottle of Formula 86
with the soup that will be served to the witches
for dinner.
After the witches eat the soup, they begin
transforming into mice, causing a big commotion
in the hotel.
The boy and grandmother return home, where
they discuss what they will do next about
the witches in the rest of the world.
The grandmother finds the address of the Witch
Headquarters and wants to use Formula 86 to
transform all of the witches at the Witch
Headquarters into mice.
In the end, the boy and grandmother dedicate
their lives to destroying all of the witches
in the world.
