This is a book about witches and huntsmen. Specifically Jack and Jody, two children who at the start do not know what they are.

The story follows the children from when their parents drop them off at a nursery. They grow to be friends but they do not realise that their families have an age old rivalry. Until the fateful day when their parents come and pick them up and take them to their real horrible home.

With the humorous writing of Cassandra paired with the scenic, vivid illustrations of Geraldine, the world of Pagody comes to life. A tale that teaches you that some friendships are worth fighting for, and you don't have to always follow the status quo especially when it comes to friendship.
