MAIN EVENTS:

- Billy sees his first witch
- Billy goes on vacation with his grandmother and gets turned into a mouse.
- Billy uses the witches own poison to kill them.
CONCLUSION:
Billy changes in two ways - inside and outside. As a human boy, Billy wasn't in control of his life and he was sad. When he became a mouse, he was happy and confident and he was able to solve all of his problems by himself.
MY OPINION:
I liked this book! There is a lot of humour and action. Billy's grandmother smoked cigars!!??
