Chloé et le secret de la sorcière (Chloé and the Witch’s Secret)

Summary

Chloé is nine years old, and her parents are separated. For a while now, her father has been acting strangely, laughing for no reason and letting Chloé eat piles of candy. It’s suspicious. Very suspicious, even…

When he introduces her to his new girlfriend, Chloé launches an investigation to prove beyond a doubt that her dad has been bewitched by a witch disguised as an ordinary woman!
