Have witches become old fashioned? Are they a thing of the past? Or can they still become famous?
After having turned a bully into a toad, Irma the witch is suddenly acclaimed as a celebrity: she is invited to TV shows and big events, and everybody asks her for an autograph!
But after reaching the highest point of success, she realizes that something is missing: it is her old life with the most loyal friends.
This is a witty story, full of unconventional characters and funny details, about the fragility of success and the importance of real friends.
