They don't know what they've let themselves into when they take Earwig home with them. Turns out the woman is a witch in need of an assistant/slave and the man a mandrake, a rather grumpy but well-mannered demon. She doesn't want to leave, but a strange couple come one day and pick her to everyone's surprise. It's the last book she wrote entirely herself.Anyway, the story is about a little girl, Earwing who lives happily in an Orphanage, with good friends and people who do what she wants. I know it is a young children's book, but I could see the potential story that DWJ could have expanded it into. I might have given it more stars if it had been a little longer and in more depth. I could have finished it in an hour, but spread it out over a few days mixing it up with the other book I started.
