October’s Family Read Aloud is Florence Laughlins’s The Little Leftover Witch .

When Felina, a little witch, crash-lands on Halloween and breaks her broom, she finds that she can’t use her Small Magic to enchant a new broom. Or the dust mop. Or even the electric vacuum cleaner. Instead she is enchanted by Lucinda and the Doons, who try to make her a part of their family. Will the Doons and their black cat, Itchabody, survive until next Halloween, or will the havoc Felina create drive them batty?
